Abstract
Polymer-layered silicate nanocomposites are new hybrid polymeric materials withnanometre thick layered silicates that generally show improvement over theproperties of polymeric materials. This paper reports that synthesizedorganolayered silicates can be used to make epoxy nanocomposites. Thenanocomposites were characterized by wide-angle x-ray diffraction, small-anglex-ray scattering (SAXS) and transmission electron microscopy. The studies on insitu SAXS and differential scanning calorimetry were carried out to gain anunderstanding of the morphological development of a nanocomposite duringprocessing. The storage and glass transition temperature of the nanocompositewere also studied by dynamic mechanical analysis.
