Abstract

Reinforcement of organically modified nanoclay into different synthetic and biopolymer matrices was performed by several techniques. For high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyamide (PA6) based nanocomposites, single screw compounding process was adopted, whereas; for polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based nanocomposites in situ polymerization technique was taken into consideration. For protein and biopolymer based nanocomposites; nano clays were made to disperse through solution casting technique. The structural analysis of all the polymer/clay nanocomposites or bionanocomposites was performed through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) studies, whereas; the morphological analysis was carried out through transmission electron microscope (TEM). The oxygen permeability of nano clay reinforced polymer nanocomposites was measured as function of clay content and pressure. It was found to be decreased with increase in clay content as compared to their neat polymers. Along with the clay content, ultrasonic treatment also affect the nature of dispersion of nanoclay and thereby the oxygen permeability of the fabricated nanocomposites. The enhanced obstacle towards the path of gas transportation within the fabricated polymer nanocomposite may enable the material for food packaging applications.
