Abstract
Effects of inorganic nano-powders on the polymerization and thermal degradation kinetics as well as the mechanical properties of polyurethane nano-composites were studied by both the measurement of polymerization temperature as a function of time and non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) as well as the Instron test. As the results from polymerization studies, the reaction rates of MMT-filled PU composites were faster than those of Ce500-filled ones, and moreover, the activation energies using Kissinger method for the thermal degradation of composites were calculated as 139.34 kJ/mol for the Ce500-filled PU composites and 91.12 kJ/mol for MMT-filled one, respectivel, exhibiting that MMT nano-powder seemed to be acting as the catalyst for both polymerization and degradation of PU composites. UTM result, however, showed that tensile strength at break of MMT-filled composites was much higher than that of Ce500-filled ones above the concentrations range of 5 phr in the composites.
