In situ growth of organically-modified magnesium silicate clays within poly(ethylene oxide) matrices to prepare hybrid nanocomposites

摘要

A direct synthetic method has been developed to produce hybrid materials composed of polymeric matrices infiltrated with layered inorganic particles.Magnesium chloride hexahydrate and (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (ATES) were employed to produce lamellar organically-modified magnesium silicate clays with strutures analogous to the inorganic 2:1 phyllosilicates.
