Abstract:
The soap-free emulsion polymerization has been applied for preparing the surfactant-free polystyrene/layered double hydroxide exfoliated nanocomposite. The XRD and TEM determinations have been used to monitor the changes of interlayer spacing and morphology during polymerization. The results show that the obtained nanocomposite has the homogeneous structure of polymeric and inorganic components. Due to the absence of organic surfactant, the PS/LDH nanocomposite shows a remarked improvement on the onset decomposition temperature compared with virgin PS.
