Abstract

A two-step process of the solution blending and the subsequent melt mixing in a Brabender mixer was used to prepare clay nanocomposites of SAN/PVC and of ABS, respectively. It was found that the new method was effective in obtaining well-dispersed nanocomposites for both cases. The glass transition behavior of the organoclay nanocomposites were analyzed by using theoretical equations. The interaction characteristics were evaluated by using the solubility parameters estimated from the group molar attraction constants.
