Lyotropic mesophase formation in PVA/imogolite mixture

  • Published:
Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The mesophase formation was observed in the ternary system consisting of a solvent, a rigid rod solute (imogolite), and a randomly coiled polymer chain (poly(vinyl alcohol); PVA). Although the mesophase formation in this system seems to follow qualitatively the scheme presented by Flory, no marked segregation of the two solute component was confirmed. The physical properties of the composite film prepared from this ternary system were also examined.
