Abstract
In this study, the synthesis of aniline-formaldehyde resin, and its thermal and structural characterization, as well as the preparation and characterization of the resin-organoclay composites were carried out. For this, first, at 70 ◦C and acidic conditions the aniline formaldehyde prepolymer was prepared and then cured at 120 ◦C under vacuum. The structural and thermal characterization of the resin was made using FTIR and DSC techniques. By using the Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide modified Montmorillonite (OMMT) and the synthesized resin, the resin-organoclay composites were prepared by melt intercalation method. Characterization of the resin-organoclay composites prepared with the different ratios of organoclay is made with the same techniques. The FTIR and thermal analysis results of the composites indicate that a cross-linked polymeric matrix was formed. The thermal behavior of the composites has also significantly changed compared to pure resin.
