Abstract

Further development of the concept of hybrid organic/inorganic nanocomposites resulted in the continuous preparation of nanocomposite fibers via melt compounding where the polymeric fiber matrix is reinforced by organically modified montmorillonite. Samples containing different amounts of nanoclay prepared by melt intercalation process in a twin screw extruder and then melt spun into the fibers. The nanocomposite samples characterized using X-ray diffraction patterns, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy and melt viscoelastic results along with mechanical analyses. The nanocomposite samples showed different microstructural behaviour in nanoscale due to the presence of different amounts of organoclay incorporated in the polymeric matrix. The results also demonstrated that addition of 3 wt. % organoclay was optimal to improve microstructure and properties of poly(butylene terephthalate) nanocomposite fibers prepared by continuous melt compounding.
