Abstract

Layered smectite nanoclays are being developed for incorporation into a variety of host polymer systems. Nanoscopic phase distribution can impart enhanced stiffness at low addition levels and improve barrier and flame-retardant properties. When combined with other inorganic and organic modifiers, nanoclays can provide synergies to generate the desired formulation properties and cost/per form ance characteristics. Developments with existing nanoclay products using conventional amine chemistries are described for thermoplastic, thermoset, and rubber formulations. Nanoclays are demonstrating unique, multidimensional per form ance and proc essing capabilities. Commercial applications are emerging in a variety of diverse markets ranging from automotive to packaging.
