METHODS FOR THE PREPARATION OF POLYAMIDE NANOCOMPOSITE COMPOSITIONS BY IN SITU AND SOLID STATE POLYMERIZATIONS

摘要

In situ polymerization of polyamide monomers and silicate materials followed by solid state polymerization produces polyamide nanocomposite materials wit h desirable physical properties. The nanocomposite materials produced include homopolymers and copolymers. The properties of the nanocomposite materials m ay be varied by the choice of monomers, type of silicate, and polymerization conditions.
