Advanced functionalisation of organoclay nano-particles by silylation and their polystyrene nano-composites obtained by mini-emulsion polymerisation

摘要

A wide variety of novel functional nanomaterials have been synthesised by mini-emulsion polymerisation. During the mini-emulsion polymerisation, nanoparticles made of organic or inorganic materials can be encapsulated into polymers resulting in new materials with numerous applications.
