Polymer/clay nanocomposites have been extensively studied in recent years because they often exhibit improved properties different from their micro and macrocomposite counterparts. Addition of organophilic layered silicates ...

Layered silicate nanocomposites are new generation materials that have unique properties obtained by low particulate loadings. In this study, layered silicate/polypropylene nanocomposites were prepared by melt intercalation ...
