Definitions

  • the invention relates to special nanocomposites containing at least one layered silicate and at least one rubber, a process for their preparation and various products, preferably elastomers, based on these nanocomposites.
  • Phyllosilicates are found in nature e.g. as mica and are characterized by their easy cleavage. This is based on the fact that the phyllosilicates are composed of many layers of the thinnest silicate platelets. These silicate platelets have nanoscale dimensions. Their strengths are usually in the range of 1 to 10 nanometers and the lengths usually more than 100 nanometers. These silicate platelets are characterized by being impenetrable to liquids and gases and having elastic properties. The property of being impermeable to liquids and gases is used in diffusion inhibiting technology. Diffusing molecules, for example, in rubber through the sheet silicate platelet diffusion difficult because they have by detours around the silicate platelets extended ways.
  • phyllosilicates an important prerequisite for the technical use of phyllosilicates is also the prevention of the agglomeration of the nanoparticles produced from the phyllosilicates or the ensuring of the delamination (exfoliation) of the phyllosilicates. This is often due to a modification of the particle surface or through the exchange the cations of the phyllosilicates against voluminous organic cations ensured.
  • the compounding of the nanoparticles and the uniform distribution of the particles in a polymer matrix as well as dispersing while maintaining the nanoscale is crucial for the successful use in plastics or rubbers.
  • Compounding is a term used in plastics technology, which is synonymous with plastic processing and describes the refining process of plastics through the addition of additives (fillers, additives, etc.) for the targeted optimization of the property profiles. Compounding preferably takes place in extruders.
  • talc or mica are used as fillers, the mechanical properties of resulting nanocomposites are markedly worse than when using swellable phyllosilicates, for example montmorillonites, which lead to intercalated or partially x-coated nanocomposites.
  • Talc or mica lead to classic composites with poor binding and distribution of the filler on or in the polymer.
  • the intercalation of the phyllosilicates to be used is generally assumed in the literature in the first place.

  • the additional aspect ratio associated with exfoliation into individual silicate platelets is regarded as an essential prerequisite for the preparation of polymer-layered silicate nanocomposites having improved properties (HA Stretz, DR Paul, R. Li, H. Keskkula, PE Cassidy, Polymer 2005, 46 2621-2637).
  • Intercalatable and exfolitable phyllosilicates are preferably montmorillonites or hectorites from the class of smectites.
  • the common opinion is that extensive exfoliation is required to improve the composite properties of polymer-phyllosilicate nanocomposites in order to achieve a large contact surface and thus an optimal effect on the properties of polymer-phyllosilicate nanocomposites even for small doses of phyllosilicate , This exfoliation is usually done in situ by chemical or physical-mechanical processes during processing.
  • EP 2 168 918 A1 discloses a process for the preparation of non-swellable phyllosilicate tactoids by preparing synthetic smectites by high-temperature melt synthesis and dispersing them by shaking "in an aqueous medium”.
  • DE 10 2007 048 995 A1 discloses a method for separating silicate platelets from sheet silicates by introducing them into an alkaline medium, as a result of which the silicate layers are widened or swollen.
