COMPOSITE MATERIALS FROM LAYERED SILICATE CLAY AND METHOD OF MAKING GRINDING WHEELS USING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of preparing nanocomposite grinding wheel using layered silicate-epoxy nanocomposite material. More specifically the montmorillonite-type-clay is modified into organo clay which is cured in presence of the epoxy resin facilitating for a crosslinking reaction between the organo clay and the epoxy resin at lower temperatures resulting in a nanocomposite with strong adhesion which is dispersed in a polymer tube comprising of styrene monomer. Further benzoyl peroxide is added to the mixture and is heated followed by crushing. The crushed polymerized material is heated in an vacuum oven for a certain period of time.
