Abstract
⺠PDMS nanocomposites based membranes were prepared using polar and nonpolar nanoclays. ⺠Morhological studies showed intercalation along with partial exfoliation of nanoclays in PDMS matrix. ⺠The nanoclay composite membranes exhibited synergistic improvement in the thermal stability inert atmosphere for 10% loss. ⺠In pervaporation studies, nanocomposite membranes tested showed a decrease in flux with increase in selectivity for methanol/toluene liquid mixtures.
