Preparation of polymer-clay nanocomposites via dispersion polymerization using tailor-made polymeric surface modifiers
Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2011. === ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Fully exfoliated polystyrene-clay nanocomposites were prepared via free radical polymerization in dispersion polymerization, in a mixture of ethanol and water. Sodium montomorillonite clay (MMT) was pre-modified using 3-(trimethoxysi...
