TL;DR: In this paper, the preparation and characterization of intercalation compounds of Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (Mg−Al LDH) and various organic surfactants have been studied in detail.

TL;DR: In this article, the flammability and thermal properties of the nanocomposite based on low density polyethylene (LDPE) and Mg-Al based layered double hydroxide (Mg−Al LDH) are reported in detail.

TL;DR: In this article, low density polyethylene (LDPE)/Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanocomposites have been synthesized with different compositions by melt-mixing technique using maleic anhydride grafted polyethylenes as compatibilizer.

TL;DR: In this article, the potential of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) as a nanofiller for polymer-based nanocomposites has been investigated, and the important aspects in characterizing such hybrid materials (i.e., morphological analysis and melt rheological behavior) have been reported in detail to understand the nature of LDH particle dispersion and its influence on the melt flow behavior of the polymer composites.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of two chemically opposite type of nanofillers, namely montmorillonite (MMT) and layered double hydroxide (LDH), both in pristine and organically modified forms (OLDH and OMMT), on the mechanical properties and crystallization behavior of chloroprene rubber (CR) vulcanizates have been investigated.
