Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the addition of smectite clay fillers to a polylactide matrix on the physical properties of the nanocomposites thus created, studied during the degradation process. A small amount of nanofiller (3-10 mass %) was used, and the clay was additionally modified with organic ammonium salt for better compatibility with the polymer matrix. Crystallisation, glass transition and melting temperature of the nanocomposites were investigated, and the resulting thermal, structural and mechanical properties were compared to those of a neat polylactide. The degradation process of the materials was examined during immersion in distilled water at 80 A degrees C for 60 days using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Macroscopic changes were monitored and mechanical properties tested prior to degradation to evaluate the ability of the modified clay filler to reinforce the polymer and enhance elastic modulus, mechanical strength and Brinell hardness. The influence of the modified smectite filler on the thermal, mechanical and structural properties of the nanocomposites during degradation and its dependence on filler content were discussed and confirmed in the study. It was found that the addition of 3 mass% of the clay filler provides an increase of nearly 20 % in tensile strength, with improved stiffness. It was also found that the addition of organically modified clay to the polymer matrix significantly changes the hydrolytic degradation mechanisms of the polylactide, the crystallinity of the polymer and its degradation rate, depending on the amount of the filler.
