Abstract

Composites of thermotropic polyurethane (TPUR) with rectorite and organic rectorite clays of different composition were prepared by melt processing. The organic rectorite (OREC_A) was obtained in an ion-exchange reaction of rectorite with quaternary ammonium salt. The composites were characterized by using FTIR, WAXD, SEM and mechanical measurements. It was found that the door spacing of OREC_A crystals increased and even disappeared, when they were mixed with TPUR. These results implied the intercalation phenomenon and the nanoscale disperison of OREC_A in the composites. The tensile strength of TPUR composites with 2 parts of OREC_A was about 42% higher than that of the pure TPUR. With increasing the OPEC_A content the few strength of the composites increased noticeably. An increase 92.8 kN/m to 138.8 kN/m was observed when 8 parts of OREC_A was added in the composites.
