TI  - Exfoliation of clays in poly(dimethylsiloxane) rubber using an unexpected couple: 
      a silicone surfactant and water.
PG  - 2731-8
AB  - Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)/montmorillonite (MMT) composites have been prepared 
      using a newly synthesized omega-ammonium functionalized poly(dimethylsiloxane) 
      compatibilizer coupled with a dispersion technique in water. The organoclay 
      containing the new siloxane surfactant was characterized by TGA and XRD. For the 
      first time, a nanoscopic dispersion of MMT nanoplatelets in the PDMS composite 
      cured by hydrosilylation and a good compatibility between clay layers and matrix 
      were obtained. The beneficial effect of both the surfactant and the water onto 
      clay nanoplatelet dispersion was evaluated by different microscopy techniques and 
      by measuring different properties such as the viscosity of the uncured PDMS/MMT 
      nanodispersions, and the swelling rate and Young's modulus of the cured PDMS/MMT 
      nanocomposites.
