Abstract
The present work investigates the effect of organomodified nanoclay (ZW1) and butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer terminated with different amine groups (amine-terminated butadiene-acrylonitrile, ATBN) on the properties and morphology of epoxy resin. The morphologies of the nanocomposites were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The nanocomposites structure was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, XRD and TEM. The properties evaluation showed that the polymeric modifier and nanoclays strongly influence the fracture toughness and flexural properties of the nanocomposites. Hybrid epoxy composites containing 1% ZW1 and ATBN rubbers showed improved fracture toughness and flexural properties in comparison with unmodified epoxy resin. FTIR spectra showed an increase in the hydroxyl peak height peak height of 3360 cm-1 due to reactive rubber incorporation. SEM micrographs of hybrid epoxy resin nanocomposites showed significant plastic yielding of the polymer matrix with stratified structures and more cavitations, explaining thus the enhancement of fracture toughness and flexural strength of the nanocomposites.
