Abstract
Polymer/layered filler nano-composites (PLFNCs) offer remarkably improved mechanical properties with low inorganic filler loading. Major developments in this field have been carried out over the last one and half decades. However, we are far from the goal of understanding the mechanisms of the enhancement effects in nanocomposites. Continued progress in nanoscale control, as well as an improved understanding of the physicochemical phenomena at the nanometer scale, has contributed to the rapid development of novel PLFNCs. We describe nano-structure development and processing operations in PLFNCs.Keywords
