Modification of montmorillonite with diamine surfactants
Sodium montmorillonite (Na-MMT) was modified with various type of diamine surfactants. The modification imparts hydrophobic characters of MMT, thus enhancing its compatibility and dispersibility in polymer matrix. In this research, pristine MMT was modified with three types of diamine surfactants, n...
