Definitions
- Nanocomposites are composite materials that contain particles in the size range of 1-100 nm. These materials bring into play the submicron structural properties of molecules. These particles, such as clay and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), generally have excellent properties, a high aspect ratio, and a layered structure that maximizes bonding between the polymer and particles. Adding a small quantity of these additives (0.5-5%) can increase many of the properties of polymer materials, including higher strength, greater rigidity, high heat resistance, higher UV resistance, lower water absorption rate, lower gas permeation rate, and other improved properties (T. D. Fornes, D. L. Hunter, and D. R. Paul, "Nylon-6 nanocomposites from Alkylammonium-modified clay: The role of Alkyl tails on exfoliation,” Macromolecules 37, pp. 1793-1798 (2004)).

This application for patent is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Application Serial No. 11/695,877, filed April 3, 2007, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial Nos. 60/810,394, filed June 2, 2006, and 60/789,300, filed April 5, 2006, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Nanocomposites are composite materials that contain particles in the size range of 1-100 nm. These materials bring into play the submicron structural properties of molecules. These particles, such as clay and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), generally have excellent properties, a high aspect ratio, and a layered structure that maximizes bonding between the polymer and particles. Adding a small quantity of these additives (0.5-5%) can increase many of the properties of polymer materials, including higher strength, greater rigidity, high heat resistance, higher UV resistance, lower water absorption rate, lower gas permeation rate, and other improved properties (T. D. Fornes, D. L. Hunter, and D. R. Paul, "Nylon-6 nanocomposites from Alkylammonium-modified clay: The role of Alkyl tails on exfoliation," Macromolecules 37, pp. 1793-1798 (2004)).
However, dispersion of the nanoparticles is very important to reinforce polymer matrix nanocomposites. Such dispersion of nanoparticles in the polymer matrix has been a problem. That is why those nanoparticle-reinforced nanocomposites have not achieved excellent properties as expected (Shamal K. Mhetre, Yong K. Kim, Steven B. Warner, Prabir K. Patra, Phaneshwar Katangur, and Autumn Dhanote "Nanocomposites with functionalized carbon nanotubes," Mat. Res. Soc. Symp. Proc. Vol. 788 (2004)). Researchers have claimed that in-situ polymerization of the nanocomposites can improve the dispersion of the nanoparticles. Better properties of the nanocomposites were somehow obtained. But in-situ polymerization is not proven to be an acceptable manufacturing process for the polymer production. Also used has been a melt compounding process, which is a more popular and manufacturable process to make those
nanoparticle-reinforced polymer nanocomposites. But the results have not been satisfactory.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Improved mechanical properties of both clay and carbon nanotube (CNT)- reinforced polymer matrix nanocomposites are obtained by pre-treating nanoparticles and polymer pellets prior to a melt compounding process. The nanoparticles are coated onto the surface of the polymer pellets by a ball-milling process. The nanoparticle thin film is formed onto the surface of the polymer pellets after the mixture is ground for a certain time.
The ball-milling process:
1. Allows nanoparticles to attach onto the surface of the polymer pellets; and
2. Breaks the big clusters of the nanoparticles by the bombardment of the polymer pellets, which further disperse the nanoparticles in the polymer matrix after the melt compounding process.
In addition to clay and CNTs, other fillers such as graphite particles, carbon fibers, fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, ceramic particles, or any combination thereof may also be used.
Two cases are provided to illustrate embodiments of the invention.
Case 1 : Nylon 11/clay nanocomposites
Nylon 1 1 pellets were obtained from Arkema Co., Japan (product name: RILSAN® BMV-P20 PAI l). Clay was provided by Southern Clay Products, US (product name: CLOISITE® series 93A). It is a natural montmorillonite modified with a ternary ammonium salt. Referring to Fig. 2, in step 201 , both clay and nylon 1 1 pellets were dried in a vacuum oven at 8O0C for at least 16 hours to fully eliminate the moisture. Then they were put in a glass container to go through the ball milling process in step 202. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a typical ball milling apparatus. The speed of this machine is about 50~60 revolutions per minute. In this method, 5 wt. % and 10 wt. % of the clay powders were chosen for the experiment. The mixture was ground at least half an hour to allow the clay particles to be attached onto the surface of the nylon 1 1 pellets. Solvents such as IPA, water, or acetone may be added into the mixture. For comparison, a direct mixing method was also used. The clay and nylon 1 1 were put in a plastic bag and hand shaken for at least half an hour.
After the mixtures were mixed by ball milling and direct mixing processes, a
HAAKE Rheomex CTW 100 twin screw extruder (Germany) was used to blend nylon 6/clay/SEBS nanocomposites in step 203. Following are the parameters used in this process:
Screw zone 1 temperature - 2300C; Screw zone 1 temperature - 2200C;
Screw zone 1 temperature - 2200C; Die temperature - 2300C; Screw speed - 100 rpm.
A quantity of the nylon 1 1 pellets and clay for each operation is 1 pound because the twin screw needs to be cleaned using the mixture before collecting the composite resin. The synthesized resin may make 20 bars by the following injection molding process. In step 204, the nanocomposite fiber was quenched in water and palletized using a Haake PPl Pelletizer POSTEX after extrusion process. In step 205, the nanocomposite pellets were dried at 700C prior to the injection molding process to make specimens. A Mini-Jector
(Model 55, Mini-Jector Machinery Corp. Newbury, Ohio, USA) laboratory-scale injection molding machine was used in step 206 to make impact bars for physical testing in step 207. Samples were added with specific dimensions using ASTM-specified molds (ASTM D256 for impact strength testing, ASTM D790 for flexural modulus testing). Following are the parameters used:
Injection pressure - 70 bar; Holding pressure - 35 bar; Holding time - 40 seconds; Heating zone 1 temperature - 2200C; Heating zone 2 temperature - 2200C; Nozzle temperature -2300C; Mold temperature - 60-800C.
The specimens were dried in a desiccator for at least 40 hours' conditioning before the testing process. Flexural modulus and impact of the samples were characterized using standard 3-point bending method.
Table 1 shows the mechanical properties (flexural modulus and impact strength) of the nylon 11/clay/SEBS composites with different weight ratios.
Table 1
It can be seen clearly that the mechanical properties of nylon 11 /clay nanocomposites pre -treated by ball milling process are better than those by the direct mixing process at the same loading of clay.
Case 2: Nylon 6/carbon nanotube nanocomposites
Nylon 6 pellets were obtained from UBE Co., Japan (product name: SFlOl 8A). Clay was provided by Southern Clay Products, US (product name: CLOISITE® series 93A). The carbon nanotubes used in this case were double wall CNTs (DWNTs). DWNTs were obtained from Nanocyl, Inc., Belgium.
A similar process as described above with respect to Fig. 2 was used. Both CNTs and nylon 6 pellets were dried in a vacuum oven at 8O0C for at least 16 hours to fully eliminate the moisture. Then they were put in a glass container to go through the ball milling process. In this case, 0.4 wt. % CNTs was used in nylon 6 matrix.
Fig. 3 shows a picture of neat nylon 6 pellets (left) and nylon 6/CNT right. Neat nylon 6 is transparent, while it was black after the ball milling process with CNTs because CNTs have a black color. It means that CNTs were evenly coated onto the surface of the nylon 6 pellets. After the mixtures were mixed by ball milling, a HAAKE Rheomex CTW 100 twin screw extruder (Germany) was used to blend nylon 6/clay/SEBS nanocomposites. Following are the parameters used in this process:
Screw zone 1 temperature - 2400C; Screw zone 1 temperature - 2300C; Screw zone 1 temperature - 2300C;
Die temperature - 2200C; Screw speed - 100 rpm.
A quantity of the nylon 6 pellets and CNTs for each operation was 1 pound because the twin screw needed to be cleaned using the mixture before collecting the composite resin. The synthesized resin made 20 bars by following injection molding process. The nanocomposite fiber was quenched in water and palletized using a Haake PPl Pelletizer POSTEX after the extrusion process. The nanocomposite pellets were dried at 700C prior to the injection molding process to make specimens. A Mini-Jector (Model 55, Mini- Jector Machinery Corp. Newbury, Ohio, USA) laboratory-scale injection molding machine
was used to make impact bars for physical testing. Samples were molded with specific dimensions using ASTM-specified molds (ASTM D638 for tensile strength testing, ASTM D790 for flexural modulus testing). Following are the parameters used:
Injection pressure - 70 bar; Holding pressure - 35 bar; Holding time - 40 seconds; Heating zone 1 temperature - 2300C; Heating zone 2 temperature - 2300C; Nozzle temperature -2400C; Mold temperature - 60-800C.
For comparison, neat nylon 6 specimens were also molded. The specimens were dried in a desiccator for at least 40 hours' conditioning before the testing process. Table 2 shows the mechanical properties (tensile strength and impact strength) of the nylon 6/CNT nanocomposite.
Table 2
It can be seen clearly that the mechanical properties of nylon 6/CNT nanocomposites pre -treated by the ball milling process were better than those of neat nylon 6. Nylon 6/CNT nanocomposites synthesized by melt compounding process hold worse mechanical properties than neat nylon 6 (Dhanote, "Nanocomposites with functionalized carbon nanotubes", Mat. Res. Soc. Symp. Proc. Vol. 788, Ll 1.17.1-L11.17.6).
Other types of polymers including, but not limited to thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers, may be used in the cases described above in place of, or together with, nylon 6 and nylon 11.
Thermoplastic polymers that may be used as described herein include, but are not limited to, polycarbonates, polyamides, polyesters (e.g., polybutylene terephthalate and
polyethylene terephthalate), polyethers, thermoplastic polyurethanes, polyacetals, fluorinated polymers (e.g., polyvinylidene fluoride), polyethersulfones, polyolefins (e.g., polyethylene and polypropylene), polyimides, polyacrylates (polymethylmethacrylate), polyphenylene oxides, polyphenylene sulfides, polyether ketones, polyarylether ketones, styrene polymers (e.g., polystyrene), styrene copolymers (e.g., styrene acrylonitrile copolymers), acrylate rubbers, acrylonitrile -butadiene-styrene block copolymers, polyvinyl chloride, or any combination thereof.
Thermosetting polymers that may be used as described herein include, but are not limited to, epoxies, phenolics, cyanate esters (CEs), bismaleimides (BMIs), polyimides, or any combination thereof. Nanoparticles such as clay or CNTs may be coated onto the surface of thermosetting pellets by a milling process. The pellets are then heated to form a molten liquid at certain temperatures and cured to form a nanocomposite. Further mixing such as stirring or ultrasonication provided before the curing process. Thermosetting polymers (e.g., EPON® Resin 828 epoxy) that are in liquid form at room temperature may be cooled to a lower temperature to form a solid material. The solid material may then be broken into pellets. The milling process may be performed at lower temperatures for polymers that are liquid at room temperature than polymers that are solid at room temperature.
