Elastomer Clay Nanocomposites for Packaging

摘要: Packaging application of the materials require strong barrier as well mechanical properties. Majority reports in literature have studied properties while neglecting and it is generally assumed that improvement leads to automatic enhancement performance. However, may not be true all cases permeation are more sensitive interface between polymer filler phases. The incompatibility surface modification or presence excess on can negatively impact properties, performance still enhance. current chapter focuses two very important elastomeric used large amounts packaging industry. Various factors affecting been quantified. Use only montmorillonite, but also vermiculite has presented. importance clean composite underlined. determination average aspect ratio a tool control tune microstructure nanocomposites shown with help finite element computer models.
