Enhancement of Polystyrene Nanocomposites with THDACl-Modified Montmorillonite via Melt Compounding
hexadecyl ammonium chloride (THDACl) reveal improved dispersion, enhanced
mechanical properties, and increased thermal stability. These advancements have
significant implications for various industries, including automotive, aerospace,
packaging, and electronics, where the nanocomposites can be utilized for lightweight
structural components, flame-resistant coatings, and high-performance packaging
materials. Increasing the interlayer distance (d-spacing) of fractioned sodium
montmorillonite (FMMT-Na) using N,N,N-trimethyl-1-hexadecyl ammonium chloride
(THDACl) is done to improve the compatibility and dispersion of the clay in polymer
matrices. This modification is relevant and beneficial as it enhances the mechanical
properties, barrier performance, and thermal stability of the resulting nanocomposites,
opening up opportunities for various applications in industries such as packaging,
automotive, construction, and electronics. PS nanocomposites were prepared by
incorporating MMT clay using THDACl as a surfactant. The composition ratios included
1-10% weight percentage of MMT with a 1:1 weight ratio of THDACl to MMT. The
melt compounding process involved treating MMT with THDACl, dispersing it in a
solvent, and adding it to melted PS pellets. Characterization techniques, such as XRD,
TEM, SEM, TGA, and mechanical testing, were used to evaluate the nanocomposites.
The results demonstrated improved dispersion, enhanced mechanical properties, and
increased thermal stability. These findings contribute to the optimization of the
nanocomposites for specific applications.

ADSORPTION PERFORMANCE OF ANIONIC TEXTILE DYE (NYLOSAN RED N-2RBL) ONTO RAW, SODIC AND FRACTIONATED SODIC INORGANIC CLAY MATERIAL
modified forms (sodic and fractionated sodic materials) was
evaluated as adsorbent for anionic textile dye (Nylosan Red N-
2RBL). A various characterization using XRD, XRF, AFM,
FTIR, TG, adsorption of methylene blue and pHPCN of the
considered samples was realized. The experimental results show
that, the adsorption was pH dependent with a high adsorption
capacity of NR dye in acidic range. The pseudo-second-order
kinetic model provided the best fit to the experimental data for
the adsorption of dye by clay materials. The equilibrium
adsorption data were analyzed by Langmuir, Freundlich and
Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm models. The best fit of
experimental data was obtained by the Dubinin–Radushkevich
isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity of the raw
clay calculated by the latest isotherm model is 62.05 mg/g. It is
increased in modified forms (170.11 and 201 mg/g for sodic
clay and fractionated sodified clay materials, respectively).
Increasing solution ionic strength (NaCl, KCl, NaNO3, and
Na2SO4) increased significantly the adsorption of dye
