- Abstract
- Ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) and monmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites have been investigated as a function of vinyl acetate content and molecular weight of EVA and types of substituted alkyl ammonium of MMT. It is found that vinyl acetate content and type of substituted alkyl ammonium are important factors for the intercalation behaviour of MMT in MMT/EVA nanocomposite. Maleic anhydride grafted high-density polyethylene was used as a compatibilizer to improve the intercalation behaviour of MMT. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the intercalation/exfoliation behaviour, and mechanical properties were measured.
