Development and evaluation of fire retardent unsaturated polyester clay nanocomposites.
… This was followed by in-depth studies 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 …

Improving the Exfoliation of Layered Silicate in a Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Matrix Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
… 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 a single screw extruder. The rapid expansion forced silicate particles …
