Abstract
The thermomechanical properties and morphologies of nanocomposite fibers of poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) incorporating thermally stable organoclays are compared. Dodecyltriphenylphosphonium-mica (C12PPh-Mica) and 1-hexadecane benzimidazole-mica (C16BIMD-Mica) were used as reinforcing fillers in the fabrication of PET hybrid fibers. Dispersions of organoclays with PET were studied by using the in-situ polymerization method at various organoclay contents to produce nano-scale composites. The thermo-mechanical properties and morphologies of the PET hybrid fibers were determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), wide angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron microscopy (SEM and TEM), and a universal tensile machine (UTM). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrographs show that some of the clay layers are dispersed homogeneously within the polymer matrix on the nano-scale, although some clay particles are agglomerated. We also found that the addition of only a small amount of organoclay is enough to improve the thermal stabilities and mechanical properties of the PET nanocomposite fibers. Even polymers with low organoclay content (<5 wt %) were found to exhibit much higher thermo-mechanical values than pure PET fibers.

내열성 유기화 점토를 사용하여 얻은 폴리(에틸렌 테레프탈레이트)(PET) 나노복합체 섬유들의 열적, 기계적 성질 및 모폴로지를 서로 비교하였다. PET 나노복합체 섬유에는 도데실트리페닐포스포늄-마이카(C12PPh-Mica)와 1-헥사데칸벤즈이미다졸-마이카(C16BIMD-Mica) 등의 유기화 점토가 사용되었다. In-situ 중합법을 이용하여 PET에 다양한 농도의 유기화 점토가 나노 크기로 분산된 복합재료를 합성하였다. PET 나노복합체 섬유의 열적-기계적 성질을 측정하기 위해 시차 주사 열 분석기(DSC)와 열 중량 분석기(TGA), 넓은 각 X-선 회절 분석기(WAXD), 전자현미경(SEM과 TEM) 그리고 만능 인장 시험기(UTM)를 이용하였다. 전자현미경으로 관찰된 나노복합체 섬유 중 점토의 일부는 나노 크기로 잘 분산되었으나 한편으로는 뭉쳐진 형태도 보였다. 본 연구로부터 소량의 유기화 점토의 첨가가 나노복합체 섬유의 열 안정성과 기계적 성질을 증가시키는데 크게 기여하였음을 알았고, 5 wt% 이하의 소량의 유기화 점토를 이용한 복합재료의 열적 기계적 성질은 순수한 PET 섬유보다도 더 높은 값을 보여주었다.
