Popis: New type of aromatic polyamide/montmorillonite nanocomposites were produced using solution process in N-methyl-2-pyrolidone. Amide chains were synthesized from 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl sulfone and p-phenylenediacrylic acid in N-methyl-2-pyrolidone. The resulting nanocomposite films containing 5–15 mass % of organoclay were characterized for FT-IR, scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), optical transparency and water absorption measurements. The distribution of organoclay and nanostructure of the composites were investigated by (XRD) and SEM analyses. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated an increase in thermal stability of nanocomposites as compared to pristine polyamide. The percentage optical transparency and water absorption of these hybrids was found to be much reduced upon the addition of modified layered silicate indicating decreased permeability.
