The effect of MMT on mechanical properties of CTBN toughened epoxy nanocomposite is studied. In case of CTBN toughened epoxy nanocomposite with modified MMT, it is found that the enhancement of toughness and tensile properties are exhibited in CTBN toughened epoxy nanocomposite with modified MMT From the results of fractured surface morphology of sample, it is clearly shown that the improved mechanical properties can be obtained in CTBN toughened nanocomposite due to the significant energy dissipation mechanism by MMT loading.

It is well-known that the mechanical properties of MMT (montmorillonite) nanocomposites are better than those of conventional composites. One of problems in fabricating MMT nanocomposites is a dispersion of nanoparticles in the composites. In this study, tensile tests were performed using universal testing machine to determine the effect of clay reinforced on the MMT/epoxy nanocomposites. It was found that the elastic modulus of nanocomposites was higher than that of pure epoxy irrespective of surface modification. Because MMT clay hod Strain of nanocomposite as a result of reinforced effect

The epoxy composites are prepared with mixing temperature of epoxy/montmorillonite (MMT) melt master batch and the dielectric properties of the composites are also compared with intercalation of MMT. The exfoliation mainly occurrs iii the low content of MMT composites, while in the composites with high content of MMT the interspacing distance increases as the mixing temperature of epoxy/MMT master batch is increased. Class transition temperature of the composite which the MMT are effectively exfoliated is increased with the appropriate postcuring condition. Since the orientation polarization of dipoles in the epoxy molecules is restricted by the clay nanolayers exfoliated, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the composites are reduced. Furthermore, the dielectric properties could be improved by controling the mixing temperature and time of epoxy/MMT master batch as well as postcuring condition.

Layered silicate clay montmorillonite (MMT) has been used in nanocomposite coating to improve corrosion protection by reinforcing the barrier property. The better dispersion of MMT in the coating produces a higher barrier effect. Pretreatment with MMT could favor the delamination of clay platelets, facilitating MMT dispersion in the coating. In the present work, a montmorillonite/silica (MMT/Si) composite was prepared by the in situ sol-gel method. x-ray diffraction measurements and field-emission scanning electron microscopy observations showed silica crystal formation and increased basal spacing between the MMT platelets. Composite MMT/Si particles were introduced in an epoxy resin to reinforce the corrosion protection of the coating applied on the AA2024 surface. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was performed to characterize the protective property of the coating. The results demonstrated the high barrier effect of the coating containing 5 wt% of MMT/Si. Adhesion evaluation after a salt spray test exhibited a high adherence to the epoxy coating containing MMT/Si.

In this study, the effect of type of intercalant on properties of epoxy nanocomposites was investigated. Cetyltrimethylammoniumbromide (CTMA) as an alkylammonium salt and cetyltributylphosphoniumbromgide (CTBP) as an alkylphosphonium salt were used to modify sodium montmorillonite. In the case of using the CTMA as an intercalant, the long spacing of the silicate layer was about $18.8 {\AA}$. When CTBP was used, the long spacing of the silicate layer ( $23.8{\AA}$) was higher than that of CTMA. From these results, the characteristic length of the modified silicate was found to be significantly affected by the type of intercalant. We also noted that the thermal stability of modified MMT were affected by the type of intercalant, but in the epoxy nanocomposites prepared from the modified MMT, the thermal stability remains almost the same regardless of the type of intercalant. Tensile strength and elongation of epoxy nanocomposites prepared from MMT modified with CTBT were found to be higher than those of the epoxy nanocomposite prepare with WT modified with CTMA.

A new type of filler for epoxy-clay nanocomposites has been prepared by the reaction of octadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and layered sodium montmorillonite (MMT) via an ion-exchange reaction. The gallery space was further modified by grafting the aminopropyl groups via a reaction between a octadecyltrimethylammonium-MMT and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS). The interlayer modification of MMT was confirmed by XRD, IR, and solid-state $^{29}$ Si CP/MAS NMR. Furthermore, clay-polymer nanocomposites have been synthesized by the polymerization of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A(DGEBA) and $C_{18}$ H$_{37}$ N($CH_3$)$_3$-APS-MMT. The resulting hybrid nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results proved that the organomontmorillonite could be exfoliated and uniformly dispersed in the epoxy matrix.
