Effect of Organoclay Modifier on Morphology and Curing Characteristics of Chlorobutyl Nanocomposites

In this study chlorobutyl rubber/organoclay nanocomposites were prepared using melt mixing method.Mixing was carried out on a two roll mill. The effect of two types of organoclay modifier on dispersion of organoclay in nanocomposites was investigated by using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The obtained results revealed different dispersion statuses resulted from different chemical structures (polarity) of organoclay modifier. Moreover, the curing characteristics of the prepared samples were evaluated. Comparing the curing characteristics of the simple blend with nanocomposites displayed different effects for the two types of organoclays used in this work
