Abstract

The dynamic response of different hyperbranched polymers in the bulk and under severe confinement within the ~1 nm spacing of the inorganic galleries in intercalated nanocomposites is discussed. Three generations of a polyester polyol hyperbranched polymer of the Boltorn family as well as the poly(ester amide) Hybrane are mixed with sodium montmorillonite, Na+-MMT and graphite oxide, GO, in compositions for which all polymers are intercalated and there are no free chains outside the completely filled galleries. Thus, we aim at investigating the effect of the severe confinement and of the different polymer/surface interactions on the hyperbranched polymer dynamics. In both cases, the relaxation processes identified for the neat polymers are found in the nanohybrids, however, with different temperature dependences. Moreover, the different polymer/surface interactions result in a different manifestation of the relaxation processes in the different confining environments.
