Abstract

In this study, synthesis and characterization of polymer/clay based nanocomposites was performed using 2-(4-methoxyphenyl amino)-2-oxoethyl methacrylate (MPAEMA) and organoclay. The amount of organoclay in nanocomposites synthesized by in situ polymerization method was determined as 3% and 5%. FTIR, XRD, and SEM were used as characterization techniques. It was determined from XRD and SEM results that the morphology of nanocomposites exfoliated. Then, the thermal properties of nanocomposites were investigated using the TGA/DTA/DTG simultaneous system. In thermal analysis, it was seen that the thermal stability increased when the clay amount increased. It is thought that this newly synthesized synthetic polymer/clay nanocomposites with natural clay content will serve different areas due to its environmentally friendly-biodegradable properties.
