Development and evaluation of fire retardent unsaturated polyester clay nanocomposites.
… of the polymer layered silicate nanocomposite (PLSN) materials. A range of commercial nanoclays were sourced, and characterised. In addition a range of modified clays were developed to improve fire performance and compatibility. Intercalated nanoclays in polyester resin formed an integral, dense …

Improving the Exfoliation of Layered Silicate in a Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Matrix Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
Supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) was used as a processing aid to improve the level of exfoliation achievable in a PET-layered silicate nanocomposite produced from melt compounding. Layered silicate and scCO2 were allowed to mix for a period of time before being released into the second stage of …
