- Implementing Nanocomposite Technology in the Plastics Industry
- This case study describes about polymers. In the last 2-3 years one of the most significant technological breakthroughs in the plastics industry is the development of polymer nanocomposites, i.e. plastics resins reinforced with nanosize additives. The most common nanoadditive in nanocomposites research is nanoclay, a nano-size aluminate silicate material. When...

- Improved processing.(Nanomaterials)
- Using organic swelling agents, researchers at Honeywell International Inc, USA, say they have developed a simple process to make nanoclay-reinforced polymers. The agents aid in the nanoclay's exfoliation, resulting in less shear mixing, which, in turn, reduces polymer decomposition and molecular weight, the company, from ...
