THERMAL AND THERMOMECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CLAY CONTAINING POLYMER NANOCOMPOSITES

The main focus of this research project was to understand the effect of clay particles incorporation on the thermal and thermomechanical behaviour of biodegradable polymers. Clay minerals, due to their unique layered structure, rich intercalation chemistry and availability at low cost, are promising...
