Polypropylene (PP)/clay nanocomposites were prepared by melt compounding with different
grafted clay, such as montmorillonite, halloysite and sepiolite. These clays organically …

The present review deals with recent developments on synthesis and characterization of
polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) derived from organo clay (OCL) with selected …

In the current research, the sonochemically prepared magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) were
silylated with triethoxyvinylsilane to produce a core–shell structure containing vinyl moieties …

The book provides insight into the working of clays and clay minerals in speeding up a
variety of organic reactions. Clay minerals are known to have a large propensity for taking …

In the present study, magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized at room temperature
under ultrasonic irradiation. The synthesized MNPs were then silylated with …

Plant-derived essential oils (EOs) have been considered as promising alternatives to
conventional insecticides. But because of their high biodegradability and rapid volatilization …

Synthesis of clay mineral polymer nanocomposites (CPN) requires a match between the
properties of the clay mineral surface and those of the adsorbed polymer. Once this match is …

In the last years, serval researches have been focused on organophilic clay as
reinforcements for polymer matrices. In this respect, the aim of this chapter is to valorize …

An environmental-friendly synthesis of polymer clay nanocomposites (PCNs) was carried
out by incorporation of nanoclay into polymer matrix for their potential application as sorbent …

Polymer-clay nanocomposites were synthesized by solution polymerization method using
advanced functionalized clay and vinyl benzyl trimethyl ammonium chloride as monomer …
