Abstract
Poly (m-toluidine)(PMT) / montmorillonite (MMT) Composites with thermal stability were synthesized by in situ chemical polymerization of m-toluidine monomer in the presence of montmorillonite. The PMT /MMT composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The FT-IR result displayed the successful incorporation of montmorillonite clay in the prepared PMT/MMT composite. X-ray diffraction result for PMT/MMT showed the intercalation of PMT between the clay layers. The higher thermal stability of high MMT content rate might be attributed to its higher chain compactness due to the interfacial interaction between the PMT and the .MMT.
