Description

The production of polymeric nanocomposites materials using natural clays the reinforcement has been researched enough. The improved properties compared to the polymer without reinforcement is the great appeal of this kind of materials. The kaolinite is a natural clay used as filler in polymer nanocomposites. In this article we were producing a nanocomposite polymer by polymerizing in situ in Polystyrene emulsion with 0, 1, and 3% kaolinite. The nanocomposite was characterized by XRD and TEM. The nanocomposites were characterized using friction and wear tests. The results showed that the nanocomposite with 3% kaolinite showed higher wear resistance and higher coefficient of friction.
