Since the end of the last century, the discovery of polymer nanocomposites and their ever-
expanding use in various applications has been the result of continuous developments in …

The noncovalent self‐assembly of chromophores in an organoclay template results in the
formation of fluorescent hybrid hydrogels and films. These clay–dye hybrids act as novel …

Fluorescence imaging is one of the most versatile and widely-used tools in biology 1.
Although techniques to overcome the diffraction barrier were introduced more than two …

In the present study organoclay based acrylic polymer nanocomposites were prepared via
emulsion polymerization and used as filling agent for leather. The main objective of the …

The study of organoclay is a vital subject in current research since various organo-modified
clays have become an attractive class of organic–inorganic hybrid materials owing to their …

In this study, in order to investigate the influence of melt shearing on the phase morphology
and mechanical performance of PP/EPDM thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs), the oscillatory …

Polyimide/sepiolite nanocomposite films have been prepared via an in situ polymerization
method. The process involves the dispersion of sepioite in N, N-dimethylacetamide …

Abstract Fluoroelastomer (FKM)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were prepared by
fast evaporation mixing and melting mixing, respectively. The mechanical properties and …

In this work, we investigate the physical origin of ergodicity breaking in an aqueous colloidal
dispersion of synthetic hectorite clay, LAPONITE®, by performing dissolution and …
