The Manufacture of Polymer Nanocomposite Materials Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

The use of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) as a processing aid to help exfoliate nano-clays and improve their dispersion during melt blending in polymer matrices has been reported in the literature. One of the best processes in terms of improving the degree of nano-clay dispersion and composite...
