A series of nanophased hybrid sandwich composites based on polyurethane/montmorillonite (PU/MMT) has been fabricated and characterized. Polyaddition reaction of the polyol premix with 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate was applied to obtain nanophased PU foams, which were then used for fabrication of sandwich panels. It has been found that the incorporation of MMT resulted in higher number of PU cells with smaller dimensions and higher anisotropy index (cross sections RI and RII). The obtained materials exhibited improved parameters in terms of thermal insulation properties. The results also show that nanophased sandwich structures are capable of withstanding higher peak loads than those made of neat PU foam cores when subject to low-velocity impact despite their lower density than that of neat PU foams. This is especially significant for multi-impact recurrences within the threshold loads and energies studied. POLYM. COMPOS., 32:6-13, 2011. (C) 2010 Society of Plastics Engineers
