Mechanical Reinforcement of Epoxy Resins using Magnetic Aligned Halloysite

Mendoza-Bello S., Barrientos-Ramirez S., Montes de Oca G., Flores-Santos L., Macro-M, S.A. de C.V., MX

In this work we report the synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles using halloysite as template. Halloysite is treated using a two steps activation method (Sn/Pd) and in a third step ferrite is formed using a coprecipitation [...]

Reactive block copolymers as versatile compatibilizers for polymer-clay nanocomposites

Flores-Santos L., González-Montiel A., Baeza-Alvarado M.D., Espinoza-Rodríguez E., Esparza-Hernández P., CID, Centro de Investigación y Desarrollo Tecnológico, S.A. de C.V., MX

It’s well known that silicate-polymer nanocomposites offer a number of significant advantages over traditional silicate-polymer composites, such as increased tensile strength, improved heat deflection temperature and flame retardance, with typically 3-5 wt.% of the nanofiller, [...]
