Abstract This work reports a comprehensive study on poly (Ethylmethacrylateco-Acrylonitrile) Poly(EMA-AN) nanocomposites reinforced with a hybrid mixture of nanoreiforcements based on nanocrystals of cellulose (NCC) (1 or 5% wt)
and halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) (1 or 5% wt). The morphology, thermal and
mechanical properties of these nanocomposites were characterized. Homogeneous
dispersion of the nanofillers has been shown by scanning electron microscopy. A
significant increase of the rubbery modulus and glass transition temperature were
obtained upon filler addition, due to the reduction of mobility of the matrix
macromolecular chains. On the other hand, compared with the neat Poly(EMAAN), the storage modulus of the… More >
