Introduction to Clay–Polymer Nanocomposites (CPN)
Résumé
Clay mineral–polymer nanocomposites were described for the first time in 1993. Since that date, they were the subject of thousands of research papers. Clay mineral–polymer nanocomposites must be carefully distinguished from microcomposites and intercalated composites. The following chapters describe polymer nanocomposites with smectites, kaolinites and fibrous clay minerals.
