Synthesis of HEC/APS/LMS Composite Using Lithium Magnesium Silicate for Enhanced Polymer Strength

Li Z, et al. Geoenergy Science and Engineering, 2025, 247, 213724.

In this study, lithium magnesium silicate (LMS) was incorporated into a hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC)-based composite to improve its structural properties. The synthesis of the HEC/APS/LMS composite involved dispersing LMS in a 75:25 (v/v) ethanol/water solution. The pH of the mixture was adjusted to 4-5 using glacial acetic acid, and the solution was stirred for 30 minutes. APS was then slowly added to the ethanol/water solution, and the mixture was heated at 80 °C for 5 hours to facilitate the reaction. Afterward, the sample was centrifuged three times at 4000 rpm for 5 minutes each time, using the ethanol/water solution to remove excess silane. The precipitate was dried in an oven at 105 °C for 15 minutes to obtain the modified LMS powder. This modified LMS was subsequently added to deionized water and stirred, followed by the preparation of the HEC/APS/LMS composite as per the established method. The introduction of modified LMS into the polymer matrix facilitated the formation of a stronger, denser network structure through enhanced hydrogen bonding, ultimately improving the composite's mechanical properties.
