Physical Properties and Polymorphism of Acrylic Acid-Grafted Poly(1,4-butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)/Organically Modified Layered Double Hydroxide Nanocomposites.

ABSTRACT: Novel and biodegradable acrylic acid-grafted poly(1,4-butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)/organically modified layered double hydroxide (g-PBAT/m-LDH) nanocomposites were synthesized through the polycondensation and transesterification process, with the covalent linkages between the polymer and the inorganic materials. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the structure and morphology of the g-PBAT/m-LDH nanocomposites. The experimental results show that the m-LDH was exfoliated and widely distributed in the g-PBAT matrix. The addition of m-LDH into the g-PBAT extensively improved the storage modulus at -90 °C, when compared to that of the pure g-PBAT matrix. The effects of the minor comonomer of the butylene terephthalate (BT) unit and the additio
