Abstract
- Abstract: Chitin based polyurethane bio-nanocomposites (PUBNC) were prepared by emulsion polymerization. The existence of the intercalated clay by polyurethane (PU) in the hybrid was confirmed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), dynamic mechanical measurements and optical microscope (OM) techniques. The values of enthalpies changes (ΔH) associated with different bentonite nanoclay contents are much consistent with the crystalline pattern of the synthesized PUBNC samples. These results revealed that pure silicate disappear in PU/bentonite nanoclay hybrid and a set of new peaks appears corresponding to the basal spacing of PU/bentonite clay bio-nanocomposites. The values of tan δ versus temperature recorded using dynamic mechanical measurements were also in accord with crystalline pattern of the PUBNC samples. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
