Abstract

The crystallization behavior of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) nanocomposites with a wide range of contents of clays was revealed. It was of interest to find that the crystallization rate of PBS was accelerated obviously at relatively low contents of clays; while a retarded crystallization kinetics and a decreased crystallinity of PBS were found in the nanocomposites with higher clay contents. Two interplaying effects existed in the nanocomposites, i.e., a suppression effect of clays on nucleation and a templating effect of clays on crystal growth, were clarified to contribute to this intriguing crystallization behavior.
