Synthesis, Characterization and Electrical Impedance Analyzer Applications of P(ε-CL-co MMA)/Montmorillonite Composites

In this study, Poly(ε-CL-co-MMA) was synthesized and its composites have beenprepared. Methyl methacrylate monomer was polymerized by the ATRP method in the presence of two armed macroinitiator Poly(ε-CL-NCl2). The composites of the copolymer were prepared with bentonite,which is a montmorillonite rate of 3%, 6% and 15% and their dispersion in the polymer was examined. Composites are prepared by dispersing method. The structure of the copolymer was characterized byFT-IR, 1H-NMR, DSC, TGA and SEM anaylsis methods. Different electrical properties of polymer /MMT composites were investigated with impedance analyzer device. Therefore, the effect ofmontmorillonite on the copolymers was examined depend on the frequency and temperature aselectrical. It was observed that electrical properties of polymers prepared with clay were higher thanpure polymer.
