A review is given of the academic and industrial aspects of the preparation, characterization,
materials properties, crystallization behavior, melt rheology, and processing of …

There is growing interest in developing bio-based products and innovative process
technologies that can reduce the dependence on fossil fuel and move to a sustainable …

In earlier work, we reported that spray freeze drying of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) yields
porous agglomerate structures. On the other hand, the conventional spray dried CNC …

This study aims to explore the processing benefits and property improvements of combining
nanocomposites with microcellular injection molding. The microcellular nanocomposite …

In the last 20 years, there has been a strong emphasis on the development of polymer
nanocomposites, where at least one of the dimensions of the filler material is of the order of …

Abstract Polypropylene (PP)/organo‐montmorillonite (Org‐MMT) nanocomposites
toughened with maleated styrene‐ethylene‐butylene‐styrene (SEBS‐g‐MA) were prepared …

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) nanocomposite films were prepared by cast extrusion
followed by uniaxial stretching, using chill rolls. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) …

The combination of surfactant modified montmorillonite (MMT) silicate layers, poly (ε-
caprolactone)(PCL) and the adopted melt processing procedure results in intercalated …

Several series of polyamide-6 (PA-6) nanocomposites, differing in montmorillonite (MMT)
type and content and PA-6 matrix molecular weight, were prepared by melt-extrusion and …

The preparation of polyamide‐6/clay, high‐density polyethylene/clay, and high‐density
polyethylene/polyamide‐6/clay nanocomposites is considered. X‐ray diffraction (XRD) …
