Abstract

Unsaturated polyester (UP) nanocomposite with montmorillonite (MMT) which contains different types of organic modifiers for nano-filler have been prepared to investigate the effect of chemical structure of organic modifiers and mixing time of all components on properties of products. It was found that the morphology and various physical properties of UP/MMT nanocomposites were influenced by properties of organic modifiers of MMTs. It was also confirmed that the content of MMT does not significantly affect properties of UP/MMT nanocomposites.
