Synthesis and Characterization of Nanocomposite Based on Sodalite and Polycaprolactone
RUSSIAN JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A(2023)
Abstract
In recent years, nanocomposites based on biodegradable polymer and clay have received increasing interest and their development has become a very hot topic. Herein, it is reported a sustainable route across simple, lucrative ways and at low cost for synthesizing zeolite (sodalite), polycaprolactone and based polycaprolactone/sodalite nanocomposite. Sodalite was prepared from a broadly available kaolin depot from the west Algeria. Physical and chemical characteristics of the synthesized nanocomposite and its components are qualified using XRF, BET, TGA, XRD, SEM, AFM, and FTIR. Moreover, this article also includes a simple method for preparing dry powder specimens to AFM analysis, which showed a decrease in the surface roughness from kaolin to nanocomposite through zeolite. This research suggests the use of synthesized materials sodalite and nanocomposite as adsorbents for environmental remediation to eliminate pollutants due to their important measured characteristics for synthesized materials such as BET surface.
