A review on polymer–layered silicate nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure, preparation and properties of polymer-layered silicate nanocomposites are discussed in general, and detailed examples are also drawn from the scientific literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoscale particles for polymer degradation and stabilization—Trends and future perspectives
TL;DR: In this article, the degradation and durability of polymers are reviewed in the presence of nanoparticles/nanocomposites under different environmental conditions, and the nanoparticulates have been incorporated into polymer as " nano-additives" for both purposes: degradation and stabilization.

X-Ray Diffraction and the Identification and Analysis of Clay Minerals
TL;DR: The nature and production of x-rays diffraction effects structures, composition, properties and occurences of clay minerals sample preparation techniques for clay minerals identification of individual clay minerals and associated mineral identification of mixed layered clay minerals quantitative analysis as mentioned in this paper.
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.

The infra-red spectra of layer silicates
V.C. Farmer,J.D. Russell +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the deviation from hexagonal symmetry shown by the tetrahedral layers of dioctahedral minerals on their vibrations is theoretically analyzed, and shown to account for some of the principal differences between the spectra of diotheoric and trioctahedric layer silicates in the 1300 to 400 cm−1 region.
