4. Properties of nanocomposites
4.1 Thermal and barrier properties
The improved thermal stability of polymer-matrix nanocomposites was first demonstrated by Blumstein in 1965 in the case of an intercalated PMMA/montmorillonite system (10% by mass). This study shows that the PMMA intercalated between the clay...
