Mechanics of Polymer−Clay Nanocomposites
YuanQiao Rao,John M. Pochan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a copolymer latex, with function groups that strongly interact with the surface of the clay nanoplatelet and glass transition temperature lower than room temperature, was synthesized using water as the intercalation agent through the solution process.

Polymer/layered silicate nanocomposites: a review from preparation to processing
TL;DR: A review of the academic and industrial aspects of the preparation, characterization, materials properties, crystallization behavior, melt rheology, and processing of polymer/layered silicate nanocomposites is given in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymer Layered Silicate Nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, a new, versatile and environmentally benign synthesis approach by polymer melt intercalation is discussed. But, unlike in-situ polymerization and solution inter-calation, melt interalation involves mixing the layered silicates with the polymer and heating the mixture above the softening point of the polymer.

FTIR techniques in clay mineral studies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used FTIR techniques to distinguish between different types of clay minerals and to derive information concerning their structure, composition and structural changes upon chemical modification, and the selection of the sampling technique used depended on the purpose of the study and on the physical state of the sample.
