Characterizations of Newly Fabricated Composite Materials Based on Organoclay Incorporated Polymeric Matrix

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article reports the synthesis of engineered materials i.e. composite materials based on matrix (polymeric polyacrylic acid) and reinforcement (organic clay) through 6-hour and 12-hour ultrasonication at different intervals. All the precursors and desired composite materials were characterized by Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The disappearance of Si-O characteristic peak after ultrasonication justifies the fabrication and incorporation of organoclay in the polymeric structure of polyacrylic acid as revealed by FT-IR analysis. The SEM images interpreted the surface morphology, porosity, distribution and compatibility of matrix and reinforcement in it, which has been achieved successfully in this study for exfoliation form.
