Physical, mechanical, morphological and thermal analysis of styrene-co-glycidyl methacrylate / fumed silica / clay nanocomposites
Chang Hui Lai, Josephine1, Md. Rezaur Rahman2, Sinin Hamdan3.
Styrene-co-glycidyl methacrylate-fumed silica-clay (ST-co-GMA-fsi-clay) nanocomposites
have been prepared via free radical polymerization in the presence of benzoyl peroxide.
The nanocomposites are characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR),
scanning electron microscopy (SEM), adsorption isotherm, tensile test, thermogravimetric
analysis (TGA) and moisture absorption. FT-IR shows the Si-O-C peak that represented ST-coGMA-fsi
bonding while Si-O-Si peak shows the bonding of fsi-clay. The surface morphology
shows the well dispersion of clay (1.30E) into ST-co-GMA-fsi nanocomposite. 2wt% of ST-coGMA-fsi-clay
(1.30E) nanocomposite has higher specific surface area and average pore
volume with less pore size. Incorporation of 2wt% of clay (1.30E) improves the tensile
strength and modulus of the nanocomposites as well as higher thermal stability and
activation energy. 2wt% of ST-co-GMA-fsi-clay (1.30E) nanocomposite shows the lowest
moisture absorption value.
