Thermal Stability of ABS/Clay Nanocomposit

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is used in many industries because of its special mechanical,thermal, and physical properties. Improving this polymer's thermal stability, and surviving itsmechanical properties at a higher temperature, are important. Nowadays, researchers are going toenhance these properties using nanotechnology. In this paper, the thermal stability of ABS wasimproved by incorporating ۵ wt% organoclay (Cloisite ۳۰B). The Thermogravitmic analysis (TGA)showed a ۲ wt% decrease in residual mass at ۶۰۰ °C, a increasein the initiation temperature, and anincrease in the final degradation temperature.
