Polymer-layered silicate nanocomposites: preparation, properties and uses of a new class of materials
TL;DR: In this article, a review of polymer-layered silicate nanocomposites is presented, where the polymer chains are sandwiched in between silicate layers and exfoliated layers are more or less uniformly dispersed in the polymer matrix.

Hydrolytic degradation of devices based on poly(DL-lactic acid) size-dependence.
TL;DR: Ageing of large size plates and millimetric beads showed that devices with dimensions smaller than the thickness of the outer layer should degrade less rapidly than larger ones, and heterogeneously and faster than homogeneously degraded submillimetric films and particles.
