Dispersion mechanisms of nanoclays in a polymer matrix by electron microscopy
This work investigates the dispersion of nanoclays in polymer/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites. Nanocomposites were prepared in a twin screw extruder and the collected samples were analyzed by SEM and TEM. It was possible to study the dispersion of the nanoclays and moreover understand its effec...

| Summary: | This work investigates the dispersion of nanoclays in polymer/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites. Nanocomposites were prepared in a twin screw extruder and the collected samples were analyzed by SEM and TEM. It was possible to study the dispersion of the nanoclays and moreover understand its effect as compatibilizer. |
