TL;DR: In this paper, the melt-state linear viscoelastic properties for a series of intercalated nanocomposites are examined and the linear dynamic oscillatory moduli and the stress relaxation moduli are in quantitative agreement and suggest that at short times the relaxation of the nanocom composites is essentially unaffected by the presence of layered-silicate.

TL;DR: In this article, the linear and nonlinear melt state viscoelastic properties for a series of layered silicate based intercalated polymer nanocomposites are studied to elucidate the role of highly anisotropic nanometer thick layers in altering the flow properties of such hybrids.

TL;DR: In this paper, the nonlinear viscoelastic properties for a series of intercalated nanocomposites of an organically modified montmorillonite and a disordered styrene−isoprene diblock copolymer are reported.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the disorientation process of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites using linear viscoelastic measurements and showed that the disorientedness process exhibits signatures of aging observed in softcolloidal glasses.

TL;DR: The effect of clay loading on the mechanical behavior and melt state linear viscoelastic properties of intercalated polycarbonate (PC) nanocomposites was investigated in this paper.
