Synthesis of (E)-N-(2-aminoethyl) docos-13-enamide: A dual functional additive

With ever increasing demand for faster production speeds to remain global competitiveness, the packaging industry relies on incorporating slip additive to polyolefin. Though reduced coefficient of friction fastens the production, the quality of film obtained is doubtful. The property enhancement of film can be achieved by incorporation of nanofiller into polymer matrix such as organoclay. So a dual functional additive has been synthesized which induces slip into film as well as modify the clay and acts as an intercalating agent. The synthesis was confirmed by FTIR, NMR, MS and CHN analysis and COF was determined to ascertain slip properties. The characterization of organoclay obtained by incorporation of this additive by XRD and TGA shows its intercalating abilities.
