TI - Solid state NMR characterization and flammability of styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer montmorillonite nanocomposite KW - SOLID STATE NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE KW - NANOCOMPOSITE KW - STYRENE-ACRYLONITRILE COPOLYMER N2 - This work investigates the melt-processing of styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN)with organo-modified montmorillonite (MMT)clays and the influence of the clay on mechanical properties and on fire performance of SAN. The nanodispersion of MMT is evaluated qualitatively by X-ray diffraction (XRD)and transmission electronic microscopy (TEM), and quantitatively by solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). SAN/MMT nanocomposites reveal an intermediate morphology, an intercalated structure with some exfoliation and with the presence of small tactoids, whatever the loading in MMT is. The polymer-clay interfacial area is estimated at 0.5 and the degree of homogeneity characterizing the distribution of MMT platelets is about 40 UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xchRoSnc9Mv-n-P30O2k8jHtK1ShTLpO/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
