- Abstract
The article discusses the effects of clay on the morphology of poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) (ABS) and polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites. Wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) analysis reveals that the affinity between the ABS and clay that contained benzyl group was better than that of the PP and clay. Using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), it was observed that most of the clay existed in the ABS matrix because of the good affinity between the ABS and clay. Scanning electron microscopy shows that as the clay increases, the structure of the PP changed from droplet to elongated. It was concluded that the ABS and PP were immiscible and the clay did not affect the miscibility between the ABS and PP.
