TLDR
A polyimide hybrid with montmorillonite clay mineral has been synthesized from a dimethylacetamide (DMAC) solution of poly(amic acid) and a DMAC dispersion of montmoroniite intercalated with an ammonium salt of dodecylamine as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
A polyimide hybrid with montmorillonite clay mineral has been synthesized from a dimethylacetamide (DMAC) solution of poly(amic acid) and a DMAC dispersion of montmorillonite intercalated with an ammonium salt of dodecylamine. Montmorillonite consists of stacked silicate sheets about 2000 A in length, 10 A in thickness. In this hybrid, montmorillonite is dispersed homogeneously into the polyimide matrix and oriented parallel to the film surface. Thanks to this special structure, this hybrid showed excellent gas barrier properties. Only 2 wt % addition of montmorillonite brought permeability coefficients of various gases to values less than half of those of ordinary polyimide. Furthermore, this hybrid had low thermal expansion coefficient. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.read more

A new approach to polymer/montmorillonite nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for preparation of exfoliated/intercalated nanocomposites is reported based on two steps, i.e. preparation of treated-montmorillonite (MMT) solution and solution blending with polymers.

Effects of clay orientation and aspect ratio on mechanical behavior of nylon-6 nanocomposite
Jongil Weon,Hung-Jue Sue +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a large-scale simple shear process was utilized to alter the clay aspect ratio and orientation within the reference nanocomposite, which led to an increase in fracture toughness and ductility.
