Modification of montmorillonite by novel geminal benzimidazolium surfactant and its use for the preparation of polymer organoclay nanocomposites
Abstract
A new benzimidazolium derivative, the benzimidazolium-N,N′-hexadecane-2-hydroxy-ethyl bromide (Bz) featuring two geminal hexadecyl hydrophobic buttress has been synthesized and used for the functionalization of sodium montmorillonite (MMT-Na) via cationic exchange process. The resulting benzimidazolium-modified MMT (MMT-Bz) exhibits a large d-spacing of 3 nm between silicate layers and shows a high thermal stability compared to the commonly used...
