In-line near-infrared spectroscopy for the characterization of dispersion in polymer-clay nanocomposites

In-line Near-Infrared spectroscopy (NIR) is used to monitor clay dispersion in the polymer matrix during the preparation of polymer nanocomposites by melt-mixing in a batch mixer. Based on chemometrics principles, various single parameter calibration models employing data obtained from widely used n...
