Thermal Stability of Polymer/Organoclay Nanocomposites: Structural Analysis

Abstract

The thermal stability of polymer/organoclay nanocomposites was studied within the framework of fractal analysis. It is shown that this property is controlled by the structure of the nanofiller in the polymer matrix of the nanocomposite, which is a general postulate for other properties of polymer nanocomposites. The efficiency of a nanofiller to increase the destruction temperature is determined by its ability to generate high-modulus interfacial regions.
