Definitions
- the present invention relates to intercalated layered materials.
- the present invention relates to exfoliated nanoclays and processes for the preparation thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of exfoliated nanoclays by contacting and thereby intercalating a layered silicate clay material such as bentonite by sorption of an aqueous intercalant.
- the intercalant solution enters inside clay and causes it to interact with water present inside the clay mineral.
- the resulting clay is put in a heat sink, dried and tested by x-ray diffraction. This results in producing exfoliated nanoclays from layered mineral clays.
- Nanoclay is the latest layered clay for making plastics nanocomposites which have superior mechnical properties, barrier properties and flame resistance over conventional plastics and yet their optical properties remain intact because the addition level of nanoclay is in 1 to 6% range.
- In market the availability of nanoclay is very expensive [$55/lb] and it is marketed as masterbatches to mask their identity.
- Nanoclays are surface modified montmorillonite minerals available for a range polymer resins from commodity polyolefins to specialty polyamides. Incorporation into these resins forms a nanocomposite plastic. Because Nanoclays are used at low addition levels, significant property improvement is achieved with lighter weight parts. Nanoclays have a platey morphology.
- the layered clays originated from volcanic ash. Common clays are naturally occurring minerals. The term “Bentonite” was applied for the first time to a particular kind of clay discovered near Fort Benton, Wyoming. This clay displays strong colloidal properties and when in contact with water, increases its volume several fold by swelling, giving rise to a thixotropic, gelatinous substance, but the other clay minerals such as illite and kaolinite may be present.
- the composition of montmorillonite [MMT] itself varies from one bentonite to another, but lies in the range of 75-95%.
- Layered smectite- type MMT a hydrous alumina silicate mineral whose lamellae are constructed from octahedral alumina sheets sandwiched between two tetrahedral silicate sheets, exhibits a net negative charge on the lamellar surface, which enables them to adsorb cations, such as Na+ or Ca++.
- Compatibility with various polymers is accomplished by modifying the silicates with alkylammonium cations via an ion exchange reaction [[Y.; Kurauchi T.T., Kamigaito, O.J Mater. Res.
- the organic cations contain various functional groups that react with the polymers and reinforce adhesion between the particles and the matrix, thus producing nanocomposites with excellent dispersion quality in organic solvents.
- the surfactant chain length gets larger, the charge density of the clay and the spacing between the clay layers increase.
- AMCOL International Corporation has been active in seeking patent protection in this field and Nanocor is the beneficial holder of over two dozen US patents.
- US 6,399,690 (2002) granted the above said company describes preparation of layered compositions with multicharged onium ions as exchange cations and their application to prepare intercalated and nanocomposites.
- WO 97/31973 discloses producing a composite material by mixing potassium ionomer in which an ethylene methacrylate copolymer is either partially or completely neutralized with an organic polymer.
- US Patent Nos. 4,739,007 and 5,164,460 disclose polyamide and polyimide composite materials respectively containing layered clay mineral intercalated with organic salts. In all the above patents, the intercalant were organic solvents. The organic pretreatment of the clay adds to the cost of the clay, even though the clay are relatively cheap. Need for intercalated and exfoliated clays has been growing as the field of Nanocomposites is at an embryonic stage of development today. A decade ago nanocomposite technology was a concept with great potential. Today, it is a reality.
- smectic mineral clay e.g., bentonite, of local or international origin
- the purpose of this invention is to increase unrestricted availability of nanoclays to plastic producers and plastics processors-small as well as large-to create vast, untapped markets for plastics.
- the present invention thus relates to production of nanoclays for creating new markets for polymer nanocomposites from all types of plastics [biopolymers. thermoplastics, engineering plastics, thermosets, fibers, etc.] and boosting the per capita consumption of plastics without posing and threat to environment.

- the composition is sheared by mechanical methods in which the intercalate, with or without the carrier or solvent is sheared by use of mechanical means such as stirrers, Banbury
- RTM type mixers Brabender RTM type mixers, long continuous mixers, and extruders.
- Another procedure employs thermal shock in which shearing is achieved by alternatively raising or lowering the temperature of the composition, causing thermal expansions and resulting in internal stresses which cause the shear.
- shear is achieved by sudden pressure changes in pressure alteration methods; by ultrasonic techniques in which cavitations or resonant vibrations which cause portions of the composition to vibrate or to be excited at different phases and thus subjected to shear.

- Intercalated clay is not a nanoclay but is a precursor of it.
- an intercalated clay is subjected to high shear is an twin-screw extruder, it gets exfoliated to different extents depending upon degrees of applied shear.
- Exfoliated clay is the true nanoclay as it shows an amorphous, non-crystalline structure and does not need shear to disperse individual clay layers or platelets.
- exfoliated clay shows a minimum intensity of diffraction peak.
- intercalated structures that are characterized by parallel registry give rise to X-ray peak at d- spacings in the range 20-30 A.

Shearing can also be achieved by introducing the layered material and intercalant monomer at one end of an extruder (single or double screw) and receiving the sheared material at the other end of the extruder.
- the temperature of the layered material/intercalant monomer composition, the length of the extruder, residence time of the composition in the extruder and the design of the extruder are several variables which control the amount of shear to be applied for exfoliation. Exfoliation did not occur unless the bentonite clay included water in an amount of at least about 5% by weight, based on the dry weight of the clay, preferably at least about 10% to about 15% water, to about 700%. The water can be included in the clay as received, or can be added to the clay prior to or during intercalant, melt or solution contact.

- the most common mineral is Montmorillonite clay, which forms a very large part [80 - 95%] of Bentonite clay. Its aspect ratio exceeds 300, giving rise to enhanced barrier and mechanical properties. In general, every one weight-percent of these "nanoclays" creates a 10% property improvement.
- Their interaction with resin molecules alter the morphology and crystallinity of the matrix polymer, leading to improved processability in addition to the benefits to barrier, strength and stability.

- X-ray diffractogram of treated clay showed a broad hump which confirmed exfoliation and a near absence of crystal structure in it
- Bentonite clay [5 gms] from Kutch region of Bengal was immersed in 100 cc pure water which was then kept surrounded with solid carbon dioxide for 6-8 hours. It was then thawed at ambient temperature till ice formed surrounding clay became water.
- Bentonite was converted into exfoliated nanoclay by an ingenius scheme under which hydroxyl-rich molecules, e.g. slip layer-by-layer into the interlayer gallery. Once there, these molecules associate with and solubilize water molecules present between adjacent layers. This treatment was performed in a heat sink. The intercalant forcibly separates clay layers which, after getting dismantled, never reassemble. Bentonite clay was kept immersed in a [0-20%] aqueous solution of chosen intercalant till swelling occurs in clay. Then, it was placed in a heat sink. When intercalant was removed, the clay was washed and dried.
