Poly organic-inorganic hybrid materials

Intercalation of organic molecules into layered host lattice produces a variety of organic-inorganic hybrid materials. The solvothermal method provides a reaction system that allows application of high temperatures and therefore is a powerful technique for preparation of intercalation compounds. Exfoliation of layers may occur because of applied high temperatures. For example, exfoliated poly-ethylene/montmoriUonite nanocomposites were reported to be prepared by solvothermal reaction of organophilic montmorillonite with polyethylene in toluene at 170°C for 2...

The organic-inorganic hybrid materials have shown significant increases in properties compared to the conventional composites or neat polymers. The degree of dispersion of nanofiUers in a polymer matrix and the processing method play a key role on the final properties of the materials. Key objectives of researches are to design nanocomposites with enhanced properties at low filler contents. Different modified clays have been used in view of these objectives [31,52], There are reports on the use of ammonium-treated layered silicates [52,53], whereas the use of thermostable ILs such as pyridinium, imidazolium, or phosphonium is poorly reported. However, their combinations with poly(styrene) (PS) [54], PE [55], PP [56], poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) [57], and PET matrices [58] have been reported in the literature.
