POLY(MPAEMA)/CLAY NANOCOMPOSITES: SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, STRUCTURAL, AND THERMAL PROPERTIES

Abstract

In this study, the synthesis, characterization, and thermal properties of poly(2-(4-methoxyphenyl amino)-2-oxoethyl methacrylate) (MPAEMA) polymer/clay based nanocomposites were investigated by in situ polymerization. At the characterizations of nanomaterials FTIR, XRD, SEM, and TGA techniques were used. It was determined from XRD and SEM measurements that the morphology of nanocomposites was exfoliated when the clay content in the polymer matrix was kept at 3% and 5%. From thermal analysis, a positive correlation was observed between the clay ratio and thermal stability of nanomaterials.
