Obtaining of nanocomposites based on montmorillonite and polyamide in solution

Abstract

The method of obtaining nanocomposites based on polyamide-6 and montmorillonite intercalated by polyvinylpyrrolidone by precipitation from a solution in formic acid was developed in the work. The structure and physical interaction between the components of nanocomposites were studied by the methods of XRD, IR spectroscopic, and microscopic analyzes. The presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone in the structure of nanocomposites obtained from the solution was confirmed by IR spectroscopic analysis. Using SEM images, it was established that exfoliated montmorillonite particles with sizes from 100 to 200 nm are present in the structure of nanocomposites.
