Abstract

A new type of clay-polyether nanocomposite has been prepared by the self-polymerization of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A in the galleries of acidic alkylammonium ion exchanged forms of montmorillonite. The acid catalyzed intragallery polymerization process leads to the spontaneous exfoliation to the 10Å-thick clay layers. Intra- and extragallery polymerization processes are distinguishable by DSC.

Clay-polyimide hybrid composites have also been prepared by the intercalation of polyamic acid in montmorillonites and subsequent thermal conversion to polyimide. In contrast to the completely exfoliated clay-polyether system, the polyimide system contain regularly intercalated clay aggregates in the polymer matrix. Although regular face-face clay layer aggregation is extensive, the clay-polyimide hybrid composite films exhibit greatly improved CO2 barrier properties.
