A Study on the Polymerization of $varepsilon$-Caprolactame in [RCOOH]-Montmorillonite Intercalations-Complex

ABSTRACT

$varepsilon$-Caprolactame as organic monomer was intercalated in the interlayer space of montmorillonite and polymerized by polymerization reaction so that the inorganic polymer and organic polymer could be combined each other by chemical bonding. The results of X-ray and IR analysis showed that the polymerization reaction of $varepsilon$-caprolactame between the interlayer spaces has been performed sucessfully. In order to study polymeric reaction product in detail we have isolated the polymerized material from the interlayer space and analyzed it by X-ray diffractometer and IR-Spectrocopy. The comparison of these results with them of the analyses for thee pure polymer which has been synthesized by polymeric reaction of $varepsilon$-carolactame without montmorillonite showed that the obtained both polymeric materials are the same compounds.
