Abstract
Hybrid nanocomposites based on heterocyclic network, obtained from bisphenol A based phthalonitrile (BAPhN)
with different (0.03–5.0 wt%) contents of reactive amino-montmorillonite (MMT) nanolayers, were synthesized and studied
for the first time. Their structure, dynamics, thermal, relaxation and elastic properties were characterized using transmission
electron microscopy (TEM), mid-infrared (mid-IR), far-infrared (far-IR) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopies,
differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and thermogravimetry (TGA) measurements performed in both air and nitrogen mediums at temperatures from 20 to 600–900°C. Depending on nanofiller content, different extents of MMT stacks exfoliation, from single nanolayers to MMT stacks with tens nanolayers-thickness,
are observed in the nanocomposites. The pronounced dynamic heterogeneity in the glass transition and the ‘constrained dynamics’ effects are shown. For the pristine matrix, Tg (DMA) = 446 °С varying from 460 to 570 °С for the nanocomposites.
After high-temperature treatment in N2 medium, the relaxation spectrum and glass transition disappear, and constant dynamic
modulus E′ ≈ 3 GPa at 20–600°С is registered. A satisfactory thermal stability of the nanocomposites, with retaining the
sample integrity is observed at temperatures up to ~500 °C in air and up to 900 °C in N2 medium.
