Polymer Layered Silicate Nanocomposites: A Review (2009, methodology): “As this method is environmentally friendly and does not require the usage of large amounts of solvents, and also owing to its simplicity and economic viability, the melt intercalation method has been widely used for the synthesis of polymer nanocomposites with a large number of polymer materials [93”
A review of the water barrier properties of polymer/clay and polymer/graphene nanocomposites (2016, background): “In terms of filler concentration, numerous studies have found that the optimum nanoclay content is around 5 weight % or below [13, 16, 28, 33, 46, 47, 49, 50, 53, 57, 59-61, 63, 66, 69].”
Effect of nanoclay-type and PLA optical purity on the characteristics of PLA-based nanocomposite films (2013, background): “A number of studies have investigated the effects of developing PLA nanocomposites containing organically modified MMT (OMMT) (Jiang et al., 2007; Fukushima et al., 2009; Pluta, 2006; Thellen et al., 2005), but few (Zhou and Xanthos, 2008, 2009) have considered a simultaneous effect of combining nan”
