Application of Infrared Spectroscopy to Analysis of Chitosan/Clay Nanocomposites (2012, methodology): “…layered silicate loadings was proposed as a novel approach to modify some of the properties of chitosan, including mechanical and thermal behavior (Wang et al., 2005; Wu and Wu, 2006), solubility and swelling properties in acidic media (Pongjanyakul et al., 2005), antimicrobial activity (Han et…”
Natural Biopolymer-Based Nanocomposite Films for Packaging Applications (2007, methodology): “Wang et al. (2005) also prepared a chitosan/MMT nanocomposite using the solvent intercalation method and found that an intercalated/exfoliated nanostructure was formed with low MMT content and an intercalated/flocculated nanostructure was formed with a high MMT content.”
Preparation of cassava starch/montmorillonite composite film (2007, background): “Three types of PLSN can be described depending on the relative distribution/dispersion of the stacks of clay platelets (a) modified PLSN, where polymer chains are modified into the silicate layers (b) flocculated PLSN, where modified stacked silicate layers are sometime flocculated due to the hydrox”
Study of the combined effect of both clay and glycerol plasticizer on the properties of chitosan films (2010, unknown): “1) (Wang et al., 2005).”
