"Pada penelitian ini, nanokomposit clay-epoxy menggunakan Organo clay Nanomer I30E, epoxy resin DER 331 dan curing agent Versamid 125 disintesa dengan metode in situ polimerization. Sebagai pembanding, komposit serat gelas-epoxy menggunakan serat gelas komersial dan epoxy resin dan curing agent yang sama disintesa dengan metode wet laminating.Karakterisasi struktur internal dan permukaan fracture, yang masing-masing menggunakan XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) dan SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), menunjukkan bahwa nanokomposit telah berhasil disintesa. Nanokomposit memiliki struktur eksfoliasi pada komposisi clay <7.34 (% berat) dan struktur eksfoliasi dan interkalasi pada komposisi clay ≥ 7.34 (% berat). Nanokomposit dengan komposisi clay 2.10 (% berat) terdiri dari fasa epoxy dan fasa aglomerasi clay dan memiliki tanda fracture berbentuk kerucut.Hasil uji tarik, tekan dan kekerasan menunjukkan bahwa nanokomposit, yang disintesa dengan teknik pencampuran DM (Direct Mixing), tidak layak digunakan untuk aplikasi struktural pada pesawat terbang menggantikan komposit serat gelas-epoxy. Hasil uji tarik menunjukkan nanokomposit yang terbentuk memiliki perilaku yang sama dengan komposit particulate epoxy, yaitu tensile strength yang mengalami penurunan seiring dengan penambahan komposisi clay. Hasil uji tekan dan kekerasan masing-masing menunjukkan yield compression strength yang tidak mengalami perubahan dan kekerasan mengalami sedikit peningkatan, yang tidak tergantung pada komposisi clay, seiring dengan penambahan komposisi clay.

In this observation, clay-epoxy nanocomposites using Nanomer I30E organo clay, DER 331 epoxy resin and Versamid 125 curing agent were synthesized with an in-situ polimerization method. As comparison, fiberglass-epoxy composites using commercial fiber glass and the same epoxy resin and curing agent were synthesized with wet laminating method.

Characterization of internal structure and fracture morphology, using XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) respectively, showed that nanocomposites had been successfully synthesized. Nanocomposites owned an exfoliated structure at clay composition <7.34 (% weight) and a mixture of exfoliated and intercalated structure at clay composition >7.34 (% weight). The nanocomposite with clay composition 2.10 (% weight) consisted of epoxy fase and clay agglomerates fase and owned cone shape fracture markings.

The results of tensile, compression and hardness testings showed that nanocomposites, synthesized using DM (Direct Mixing) dispersion technique, was found not suitable for structural application in aircraft replacing fiberglass-epoxy composite. The result of tensile testing showed nanocomposite formed owned similar behavior to particulateepoxy composite, where the tensile strength experienced decrease as clay composition was increased. The results of compression and hardness testings showed that yield compression strength didn’t experience change and hardness experienced few increases, which was not affected by clay’s composition, as clay's composition increased."

"Preparasi nanokomposit masterbatch pati/organoclay digunakan sebagai bahan pencampur pembuatan plastik kemasan yang bersifat biodegradable. Masterbatch tersusun atas pati singkong (tapioka), organoclay (montmorillonite), dan bahan aditif (plasticizer dan compatibilizer). Proses sintesis dengan metode melt compounding (pencampuran lelehan) yang dilakukan menggunakan alat Rheomix mixer. Untuk mendapatkan masterbatch optimum, struktur dan morfologi dari masterbatch diamati menggunakan Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) dan Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Bahan aditif gliserol monostearat (GMS) dan gum rosin (GR) dapat mempengaruhi perbedaan pembentukan thermoplastic starch (TPS) yang menjadi matriks dari masterbatch. Penggunaan GMS sebagai aditif dengan konsentrasi pati sebesar 36% (wt) menunjukkan morfologi permukaan yang paling homogen, pati mengalami destrukturasi menjadi TPS secara merata, menghasilkan penurunan basal spacing menjadi 2,04 nm dan terbentuk struktur interkalasi. Penggunaan GR sebagai aditif dengan konsentrasi pati yang sama, menunjukkan morfologi permukaan yang kurang homogen, tidak semua pati mengalami destrukturasi dan peningkatan basal spacing organoclay sebesar 3,89 nm serta terbentuk struktur eksfoliasi. Selain itu, peningkatan konsentrasi pati juga memberikan pengaruh terhadap morfologi masterbatch. Semakin banyak konsentrasi pati, morfologi dari masterbatch semakin tidak homogen.

Silver, Titanium dioxide, and Manganese (II,III) oxide (Ag/TiO2/Mn3O4) nanocomposites with various molar ratios have been synthesized using the hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements confirmed the structure of the Ag/TiO2/Mn3O4 nanocomposite consisting of a cubic structure of Ag, TiO2 anatase, and tetragonal Mn3O4. The elemental composition ratio of Ag/TiO2/Mn3O4 nanocomposite was investigated by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The synergistic effect of Ag, TiO2 and Mn3O4 can increase the efficiency of nanocomposites as photocatalysts. The increase in efficiency is indicated by the widening of the absorbance range on the measurement results of UV-Vis Diffuse Reflectance. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements showed that the addition of TiO2 molars resulted in a decrease in the specific surface area of ​​the Ag/TiO2/Mn3O4 nanocomposite, while the opposite result was given by the addition of Mn3O4 molars. In the photocatalytic test, the best results were shown by the Ag/TiO2/Mn3O4 nanocomposite with the dominance of Mn3O4 for UV radiation and visible light. Under optimum conditions, Ag/TiO2/Mn3O4 nanocomposite was able to degrade methylene blue up to 91% with irradiation for 2 hours. The scavenger test identified pits as the species that contributed most to this photocatalytic process. Reusability and stability tests on Ag/TiO2/Mn3O4 nanocomposites showed positive results."

"Epoxy-organo clay nanocomposite materials are constructed from a polymer as a matrix and an organoclay as filler. Epoxy-organo clay nanocomposites have been synthesized using various curing agents. The aim of this research was to study the influence of the curing agent and the organoclay contents to the structure and mechanical properties of nanocomposites materials. Epoxy-organo clay nanocomposites were synthesized using cycloaliphatic amine as a curing agent and a montmorillonite organoclay (MMT) as filler through an in situ polymerization method. XRD and TEM technique provide more detail information to understand the structure that relates to the mechanical properties of the materials. Tensile test, compressive test and hardness test were conducted based on ASTM and JIS standards. The fracture surfaces after tensile tests were analyzed using SEM. The nanocomposite properties were compared to glass-fiber composites which were synthesized using wet-laminating method.It was found that the curing agent is influence to the nanocomposites structure which was shown by the change of d-spacing before and after the addition of the agent curing. XRD and TEM techniques showed that both intercalated and exfoliated structure have been formed. TEM image also exhibited that the number of intercalated structure was higher when the organoclay content was higher. It can be said that TEM techniques provides a better understanding of the nanocomposites structure and the number intercalated structure increase as the organoclay increases.The organoclay contain also influences to mechanical properties of nanocomposite materials. The addition of 10.5 wt.% organoclay improved the tensile modulus by 185% but and decreased tensile strength by 186% and 49%, and these values are lower of 36% and 90% compared to glass fiber composites. These decreases in the strength may be attributed to the fact that agglomerate and void was formed. From compression test, the addition of 3.1 wt.% organoclay demonstrated a 102% increase in compression strength and a 93% increase in load maximum compare to epoxy resin. But, that compression strength value lower of 11% compared to glass fiber composites. For the maximum load, the addition of 3.1 wt.% organoclay improved 246% compared to glass fiber composites. Addition of 7.3 wt.% organoclay demonstrated an increase of modulus of the epoxy resin by 93% and 2% compare to glass fiber composites. Meanwhile, the addition of 10.5% organoclay cause decreasing in yield compression up to 31%, but this higher value equal to 406% from is glass fiber composites. While that, result of hardness test do not show the make-up of value meaning in comparison with epoxy matrix."
