| Summary: | This research focused on blending poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) with
poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and effect of organoclay on the properties of PBAT/PVC
composites.
In order to improve the clay and polymer compatibility, the clay was first converted into
the organoclay. The organo-montmorillonite (OMMT) was prepared via ion exchange
technique using organic surfactants; octadecylamine (ODA) and dimethyldioctadecyl
ammonium bromide (DDOAB). The X-ray Diffraction (XRD) results revealed that the
interlayer distance of the sodium montmorillonite (Na-MMT) increases with the
formation of the organoclays. The presence and the amount of the alkyl ammonium ions in the organoclays were also characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared
spectroscopy (FTIR) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), respectively. |
