The development of polymer layered silicate (PLS) nanocomposites goes back over 20
years now, and yet they still have not achieved their full potential. A principal reason for this …

The procedure for the fabrication of epoxy-based polymer layered silicate nanocomposites
is important in respect of the nanostructure that is developed. To further our understanding of …

The thermal behavior of epoxy-smectite nanocomposites (hybrids) is examined by non-
isothermal thermogravimetry (TG, DTG and DTA) in air atmosphere. It has been shown that …

It has been shown, for three different polymer layered silicate (PLS) nanocomposite systems,
how differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) can identify the different reactions of …

This report highlights the importance of nanocomposite formation and dispersion upon
improvements in properties for high performance epoxy based layered silicate …

The study of curing mechanism and the related kinetics in montmorillonite/vinyl-terminated
