Mechanical Properties of Montmorillonite/Polyacrylate Nanocomposite Coatings

摘要

The present authors have published a series of articles describing the preparation of exfoliated montmorillonite (MMT)/poly(meth)acrylate nanocomposite latex particles via emulsifier-free emulsion polymerisation. A feature of their process is the absence of any organo-modifier, commonly used to pre-condition MMT and facilitate exfoliation. Some of the most interesting results were observed for coatings derived from
