Sepiolite is one of many naturally occurring clay materials composed of hydrated magnesium silicate with nano needle-like shape. In many studies, Sepiolite has been used to increase the mechanical, physical, and thermal properties of polymer. But in this study sepiolite was used in the sepiolite/polymer composite in order to investigate the moisture absorption capability of a hydrophilic polymer. Water soluble monomers were polymerized in the presence of sepiolite dispersion, and the products were isolated to make sepiolite/polymer composites. Moisture absorption performance of the composites were evaluated at constant temperature and relative humidity using a thermo-hygrostat. |
