Abstract: The OMT/DFA/UPR hybrid materials and OMT/DFA/UPR composites were prepared by in-situ polymerization and mechanical blending respectively, which were composed of organic montmorillonite (OMT) containing epoxy group and C36 dimer fatty acid (DFA) modified unsaturated polyester resin (UPR). The material structure, dispersion degree of OMT, morphology of the tensile fracture surface, and elemental composition of the fracture surface were analyzed by FT-IR, XRD, SEM, and EDS. It was found that OMT grafted onto the DFA/UPR backbone by chemical bonds, and the material exhibited ductile fracture. In this study, the effects of the additive amount and method of OMT on the thermal stability and mechanical property of the material were investigated by TG, DSC, tensile test, flexural test, and hardness test. When 0.6% (mass fraction) OMT was added, the OMT/DFA/UPR hybrid material showed the optimum property, the initial thermal decomposition temperature, elongation at break, elasticity modulus, and flexural strength increased by 11.3%,30.6%,88.7%, and 26.9%, respectively, compared to DFA/UPR. However, in addition to the elongation at break of OMT/DFA/UPR composites increased by 22.8%, the remaining properties improved little or even decreased.
