Abstract

‘Epoxyphilic’ montmorillonites were prepared containing various functional groups which can react with one or both of the components in amine-cured epoxy formulations. The preparation involves the ion exchange of six organic ammonium compounds containing either carboxylic acid, anhydride, phenolic hydroxyl, alcoholic hydroxyl, amide or amine functional groups. X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis and FTIR studies confirm the intercalation of the organic cations to form epoxyphilic montmorillonites. The adsorption behaviour of the modified montmorillonites are compared with the unmodified montmorillonite in an epoxy resin before and after the curing process.
