Title

Investigation of compatibility of nanofillers and catalysts for the synthesis of polystyrene nanocomposites

Abstract

The compatibility of unmodified and modified kaolinite nano clays (Vinyl Clay and Amino Clay) in the in-situ synthesis of polystyrene reinforced with kaolinite clay nanocomposites and its effect on mechanical properties were studied. The effect of catalysts/initiators like AIBN (Azo bis iso butyro nitrile) and BPO (Benzoyl Peroxide) were also compared and their operating conditions in the system were optimized. In-situ synthesis was done by altering the process conditions in three distinct methods. In the first method, BPO was used as the initiator and was synthesized without Nitrogen atmosphere in an open system. Nanocomposites obtained were of poor quality which was evident from its molecular weight and conversion. Second and third methods were conducted in Nitrogen atmosphere in a closed system in which BPO and AIBN respectively were used. Proper temperature control and exchange of heat of polymerization were facilitated. Mechanical properties improved drastically and AIBN proved to be the best initiator with less stringent operating conditions than BPO. In all the three cases vinyl clay gave the best properties because of the compatibility and interfacial adhesion of vinyl group with styrene monomer. Here, the same property enhancement is achieved as commercial polystyrene with lesser amounts of nanofiller.
