Title: Morphology of acrylonitrile-vinyl chloride copolymer/silica/Na-montmorillonite nanocomposite and its enhanced thermal properties
Abstract: *Acrylonitrile-vinyl chloride copolymer (AN-VC copolymer)/silica/Na-montmorillonite (Na-MMT) nanocomposites were prepared via solotion blending in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The solution was then extracted and dried to prepare the nanocomposite film. The transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation showed the silica was dispersed well in copolymer matrix after UV-light treatment; also, the X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated the layered Na-MMT was exfoliated in copolymer chains. It was found that the AN-VC copolymer/silica/Na-MMT nanocomposites exhibited increased thermal stability.
