In contrast to traditional fillers, clay, in particular, natural smectite represents an environmentally significant alternative improve the properties of polymers. Compared conventional nanofillers, clay can effectively enhance physical and mechanical polymer nanocomposites with a relatively small amount addition (<5 wt%). The present study focuses on investigating reinforcing efficiency dif...

A set of novel biocompatible aliphatic–aromatic nanocomposites, including numerous acrylic acid-grafted poly(butylene carbonate-co-terephthalate) (g-PBCT) and organically-modified layered zinc phenylphosphonate (m-PPZn), were successfully synthesized via polycondensation transesterification. primary covalent linkage was produced between the polymer inorganic reinforcements. Fourier transform in...

Composites of strontium titanate (SrTiO3) at loadings up to 50 vol.% with polar poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) and non-polar linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) were prepared investigate their dielectric responses in the wireless frequency range. The SrTiO3 particles uniformly dispersed polymers loadings, but more bead-like agglomerated higher loadings. has a strong nucleating effect on...
