Influence of formulation on morphology and rheology of polypropylene/polyamide blends filled with nanoclay mineral particles
AbstractThe effect of formulation on the morphological and rheological properties of clay polypropylene/polyamide 12 nanocomposites is investigated. Two clay minerals, organically modified montmorillonite and synthetic talc, and two polypropylenes matrices, a low viscosity polypropylene and a high viscosity polypropylene, are used. The higher polypropylene matrix viscosity strongly influences the interfacial coverage of polyamide nodules, by slowing down the migration of fillers from polypropylene matrix to polyamide nodules. The nature of clay minerals as well as the polypropylene matrix viscosity is shown to influence the change from nodular to non-nodular morphology of nanocomposites. A comparative study of the viscoelastic properties of montmorillonite or synthetic talc high viscosity polypropylene/polyamide 12 nanocomposites is performed through the use of Palierne's model. Surprisingly, the results show that a developed montmorillonite interphase behaves like a weakly developed synthetic talc interphase suggesting that the nature and structure of clay particles located at the interface play a key role in interphase viscoelastic properties.
Graphical abstract
HighlightsThe morphology of clay polypropylene/polyamide nanocomposites was shown to depend on nanoclay nature and polypropylene viscosity.The polypropylene viscosity influences the interfacial coverage of polyamide nodules and interphase viscoelastic properties.The developed Montmorillonite interphase and weakly developed nanotalc interphase have similar viscoelastic properties.
