Abstract
Rubber seed oil derived polyol was used in preparing polyurethane nanocomposites by incorporation of surface-modified montmorillonite, MMT, or organoclay, containing 25–30 wt% methyl dihydroxyethyl hydrogenated tallow ammonium) as reinforcement at 1%, 3%, and 5% loading, using hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI), 4,4’-methylene-bis(phenylisocyanate) (MDI) to obtain PHM (1, 3, and 5), and PMM (1, 3, and 5), respectively. The physical, mechanical, and morphological properties of the obtained nanocomposites with respect to its neat polyurethane were investigated using x-ray studies (WAXD), nanoindenter (NI), universal testing machine (UTM), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and the thermal stability studies determined with thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The incorporation of reinforcement led to improvement in some of the properties of the nanocomposites, especially when there was delamination of the MMT in the polymer matrix.
