Nanocomposite membranes containing polysulfone (PSI) and sodium montmorillonite from Wyoming (MMT) were prepared by a combination of solution dispersion and the immersion step of the wet-phase inversion method. The purpose ...

In this study, the authors evaluate the potential of the reinforcement of cellulose nanowhiskers coated with polyaniline-DBSA (CNW-PANiDB) in a natural rubber latex nanocomposite. For this purpose, cellulose nanowhiskers ...

Clay-loaded hydrogels have been arousing great interest from researchers and, academics due to their unique properties and broad applicability range. Here we developed hydrogel-based nanocomposites intended for slow/controlled ...

Poly(lactic acid)/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PLA/PBAT)-based nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending of PLA and PBAT with 5 wt% of unmodified (Cloisite Na) and modified (Cloisite 30B) montmorillonites. ...

Glycerol-plasticized starch/clay nanocomposites films were prepared from potato starch and three different loadings of montmorillonite aqueous suspensions by casting, to study the effect of the nanoclay in the properties ...

The influence of different processing operations as well as particle morphology and concentration on microstructure and final mechanical properties of polypropylene/talc nanocomposites was studied, performing not only a ...
