From the author: Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F (DGEBF) reinforced with organo-montmorillonite clay nanoplatelets were investigated using anhydride- and amine-curing agents. The sonication technique was used to process epoxy/clay nanocomposites. The basal spacing of clay nanoplatelets was observed by wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) techniques, and transmission electron microscopy. It was found that the basal spacing of clay nanoplatelets in epoxy matrix was expanded after mixing with either DGEBA/DGEBF or methyltetrahydrophthalic-anhydride (MTHPA) curing agent. The sonication technique provided larger d-spacing of clay nanoplatelets. Because of the different curing temperatures, MTHPA-cured epoxy/clay nanocomposites produced more expanded d-spacing of clay nanoplatelets modified with methyl, tallow, bis(2-hydroxyethyl) quaternary ammonium (MT2EtOH) than triethylenetetramine-cured nanocomposites. Depending on the selection of curing agent and organic modification for clay nanoplatelets, the d-spacing was expanded to be up to 8.72 nm. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 46:452-463, 2006.
