Abstract

ABSTRACT: This work explored the structural and morphological changes of poly ether ether ketone/liquid crystal polymer blend system, caused due to combined effect of polyphosphazene and acid-modified halloysite nanotubes. Surface modification of halloysite nanotubes gave these the adequate potential to make an effective combination with polyphosphazene. These were became the most promising factor on enhancement of thermophysical properties of blend system. Surface-treated halloysite nanotubes added nanocomposite drastically improves thermal stability than that of the other untreated nanofiller-based nanocomposites and pure blend. The storage modulus, tensile modulus, and tensile strength values increase due to the superior dispersion of the modified halloysite nanotubes in polymer matrix. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT:
