Abstract

Poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc)-poly(vinyl alcohol)-montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposite microspheres were prepared through suspension polymerization followed by the heterogeneous saponification. The effects of MMT on the polymerization rate and the saponification rate of PVAc were studied. It was found that the rate of polymerization decreased when MMT content was increased. However, the saponification rate of PVAc significantly increased in the presence of nanoclay particles. The XRD measurement illustrated that the clay particles are intercalated in the polymer matrix.
