The aim of our study is based to produce the Poly propylene oxyde /clay nanocomposites [3,5,7 and 10% (w/w) Maghnite - CTAB based on the propylene oxyde content] were synthesized by in situ polymerization. Maghnite-CTAB is montmorillonite-CTAB silicate sheet clay was prepared through a straight forward exchange process, polymer composites based on modified montmorillonite (montmorillonite-CTAB) and Poly Propylene Oxyde were prepared with different compositions by melt processing. The maghnite used was obtained with a cation exchange, using a green natural clay from Maghnia which is situated in the west of Algeria. This work is based also to demonstrate a morphology, which is obtained by combining AFM and MEB. The polymer composites were characterized using differenttechniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetery (DSC), infrared s.. View More»
