Hybrid Processing Method for Fabrication of 3D Layered Nanocomposite Materials

Coulter K.E., Poenitzsch V.Z., DiPietro S., Wei R., Southwest Research Institute, US

Southwest Research Institute and Exothermics Inc. have been developing a hybrid processing method to fabricate macroscaled, layered nanocomposite materials that mimic the structure of nacre. Current research in the biomimetic field is pointing towards importance [...]

Layered nanocomposites of plate-like particles and polymers

Zhang Y., Evans J.R.G., University College London, UK

Clay-polymer nanocomposites have emerged as a new class of material in recent years because a low addition of clay (<5 wt.%) in a polymer matrix causes significant improvement in material properties. They represent the low [...]
