Mechanical Properties of Poly(vinyl alcohol) Montmorillonite Nanocomposites.

Soundararajah, Q. Y.; Karunaratne, B. S. B.; Rajapakse, R. M. G. (J. Compos. Mater., 2010)

The properties of polymers are greatly enhanced when they are incorporated with silicate-layered clays as they find many applications in the fields of electronics, automobile industry, packaging, and construction. In this ...
Montmorillonite polyaniline nanocomposites: Preparation, characterization and investigation of mechanical properties

Soundararajah, Q. Y.; Karunaratne, B. S. B.; Rajapakse, R. M. G. (Mater. Chem. Phys, 2009)

The interest in clay polymer nanocomposites (CPN) materials, initially developed by researchers at Toyota, has grown dramatically over the last decade. They have attracted great interest, both in industry and in academia, ...
Preparation, Characterisation and Mechanical Properties of Montmorillonite Polyanyline Nanocomposites

Soundararajah, Q. Y.; Karunaratne, B. S. B.; Rajapakse, R. M. G. (University of Peradeniya, 2006)

The montmorillonite (MMT) clay was intercalated with polyaniline (PANI) to prepare montmorillonite - polyaniline nanocomposites (MMT-PANI). The MMT clay was ion exchanged with H+ and dried at 120°C for 2 hours. The H+ ...
