Synthesis And Characterization Of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (Eva) / Poly Urethane Acrylate (Pua) Nano Clay Composites

Ramesh S, Punithamoorthy K

Abstract :

Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) / Poly Urethane Acrylate (PUA) nano clay composites were synthesized by solution polymerisation technique in the presence of nanoclay (cloisite 25A) at different weight percentages. The nanocomposites were compression molded and tough films were produced. The phase morphology and physical properties of the nanocomposites were investigated using optical microscope and tensile studies. The hydrogen bonding interaction and micro domain structure of the nanocomposites are discussed based on Fourier–transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR), and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrophotometer (FT–NMR). The improvements in the tensile property of the EVA/poly (urethane acrylate) nanocomposites were observed.
