Abstract
A series of polystyrene hybrid nanocomposites have been fabricated with varying amounts of TiO2 viz., 0, 0.5 and 1 % w/w along with 3% TS by in-situ polymerization method.

A series of polystyrene hybrid nanocomposites have been fabricated with varying amounts of TiO2 viz., 0, 0.5 and 1 % w/w along with 3% TS by in-situ polymerization method. The influence of surface modified TiO2 nanoparticles on the thermal properties of PS matrix was examined using thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. Thermal characteristics of the polystyrene/TS/TiO2 hybrid nanocomposites were evaluated by using differential scanning calorimetric (DSC), thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMA). By comparison with the values obtained for the hybrid mixed composites, the thermal properties of 1wt. % TiO2 along with 3wt.% TS are increased. On the other hand, PS/TS/TiO2 nanocomposites have higher glass transition temperature and better thermal and thermo oxidative stability than the bare PS. The morphological behaviors of the prepared polystyrene/TS/TiO2 were analyzed using SEM.

The aim of this work is to probe the influence of nanoclay and turmeric spends content on microcrystalline of vinyl ester hybrid nanocomposites. A series of vinyl ester hybrid nanocomposites have been fabricated with varying amounts of TS viz., 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 % w/w along with 2% nanoclay. The microcrystalline parameters such as crystallite size and lattice strain of vinyl ester hybrid nanocomposites have been measured by using wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS). These values were correlated with physico-mechanical properties of the vinyl ester hybrid nanocomposites with and without turmeric spent to understand the holistic behaviour of the nanocomposites. Two prominent Bragg reflections at major peak in the 2θ region 17.35 – 17.79º and a small shoulder in the 2θ region around 40.00 - 42.44º were observed in the wide-angle X-ray diffraction patterns of the vinyl ester hybrid nanocomposites films of various ratios.
