Abstract:Montmorillonite/poly(vinyl alcohol) (MMT/PVA) nanocomposites spanning the complete range of MMT content (0-100 wt%) are prepared by simple evaporation-induced assembly. Effects of MMT content on the structure and mechanical properties of nanocomposites are systematically investigated and exhibit two important transitions at MMT contents of 30 wt% and 70 wt%. In the range of 0-30 wt%, the nanocomposites show a random structure. With the content of PVA increasing, the mechanical properties of the resultant nanocomposites were dramatically enhanced and were higher than that by prediction...
