Phosphonium Modified Clay/Polyimide Nanocomposites

In this study, Polyimide(PI)/clay hybrids were prepared by blending of poly(amic acid) and organically modified clay as a type of layered clays. Chemical structures of polyimide and Polyimide/ phosphonium modified clay hybrids were characterized by FTIR, TGA and SEM. Thermal properties were examined by TGA. Their surface morphologies were investigated by SEM.
