Thermal and Morphological Properties of ABS/Muscovite Layered Silicate Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present study investigated the effects of untreated (UM) and treated (TM) muscovite fillers on the morphological and thermal properties of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) composites. The TM produced from a two-stage ion-exchange process and ABS composites were compounded using melt blending. ABS/muscovite layered silicate composites were characterized using Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) while the thermal properties was investigated through Thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis. It was found that ABS/TM recorded higher thermal properties when compared to neat ABS and ABS/UM. The FESEM images showed better dispersion of ABS/TM compared to ABS/UM. Finally, mixed morphology of intercalated-exfoliated structure of composites was proven by TEM analysis.
