EVA Nanocomposites 제조 및 특성연구 = On the preparation and properties of the EVA nanocomposites

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Ethylene vinyl acetate random copolymer(EVA)/layered-silicate nanocomposites were prepared by melt or solution blending.
The TGA thermograms of EVA/ layered-silicate nanocomposites showed an improved thermal stability as the layered-silicate contents increased. The decomposition temperature of nanocomposite was increased around 10℃ compared with pure EVA at 50% weight loss under N_2 atmosphere And in an air atmosphere, temperature difference in 50% wt loss between the nanocomposlte and the virgin EVA was around 100℃ The moduli in their thermomechanical module of nanocomposite are higher than pure EVA. Interlayered spacings of nanosilicates were slightly increased when prepared by melt blending. On the other hand, they were remarkably increased when prepared by solution blending. It may be explained that EVA moiety of the copolymer showed partial adsorption behavior on the surface layer of the silicate. It also revealed that the adsorption is more effective in the solution blending than in the melt blending.
