5. 내 용 : The morphology, thermo-mechanical properties and moisture/gas barrier characteristics are studied of epoxy and PET-based polymer nanocomposites containing three different layered silicates. The epoxy-based systems were fabricated using the solvent method, whereas the PET-based nanocomposites were prepared by melt intercalation. The organoclay was treated with epoxy monomer to further improve the interactions with PET matrix. Proper clay types and optimized processing conditions were identified to give rise to enhanced barrier properties while maintaining balanced mechanical/fracture properties.
The degradation behavior and residual properties of epoxy/organoclay nanocomposites were studied after accelerated UV and moisture exposure. The changes in chemical element, topography and transparency of both the neat epoxy and nanocomposites due to UV exposure were characterized. The residual mechanical and fracture properties were measured and compared between the nanocomposites with different clay contents. Continued study was made of carbon fiber nanocomposites (CFRPs) made from organoclay-epoxy matrix. The organoclay brought about a significant improvement in flexural modulus, quasi-static fracture toughness and interlaminar fracture toughness of the hybrid CFRP-clay composites. The implications of these finding and practical applications of different nanocomposites are discussed.
