Özet
Organo-modified nanoclay incorporated high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) were successfully used for the preparation of macroporous nanocomposite foams. Due to the aim of obtaining mechanically improved foams, HIPEs were prepared by using a monomer mixture composed of β-myrcene and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. Accordingly, two groups of macroporous nanocomposite foams were synthesized depending on the nanoclay type. The morphological analysis demonstrated that the pore openness of the resulting nanocomposites were significantly improved due to the decrease in the average cavity size and increase in the interconnected pore size. In terms of mechanical properties, it was found that filling 1 wt% of nanoclay which is surface modified by hydrogenated tallow lead to a 33% of increment in the compression modulus, as compared to the neat foam. However, loading 5 wt% of nanoclay having octadecylamine and aminopropyltriethoxysilane surface groups caused only 11% of increment in the compression modulus, as compared to the neat foam.
