Abstract  A polyurethane matrix nanocomposite has been successfully fabricated using a commercial grade polyurethane prepolymer and organoclay powders, with the aid of a solvent and supersonic treatment. The interplanar distance of (001) of the clay in the composite was 4.3nm according to XRD measurement. When the weight fraction of organoclay powders was 3%, the ultimate tensile strength of the nanocomposite reached 1.6 times, the fracture strain reached 2.2 times of that of the matrix, however the modulus was a little lower than that of the matrix according to the stress-strain curves.

摘要  本文利用商业级的聚氨酯预聚体和有机粘土成功制备了聚氨酯基粘土纳米复合材料。X射线衍射表明，复合材料中粘土的(001)晶面面间距达到4.3nm。当加入3(wt)%的有机粘土时，纳米复合材料的拉伸强度达到聚氨酯基体的1.6倍，断裂伸长率达到聚氨酯基体的2.2倍，而刚度比聚氨酯基体有所下降。
