PROCESSES OF PRODUCING AQUEOUS NANOCOMPOSITE DISPERSION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide generally a polymer clay aqueous nanocomposite dispersion and a method for producing or using the same. SOLUTION: The disclosed processes include both in situ polymerization in the presence of an at least partially exfoliated unmodified clay as well as an admixture of a polymer dispersion with an at least partially exfoliated unmodified clay dispersion. The disclosed nanocomposite dispersions are useful for preparing a variety of materials, such as a coatings, an adhesive, a caulk, a sealant, a plastic additive, and a thermoplastic resin. A process for preparing a polymer clay nanocomposite powder and the use of the powder as a plastic resin and a plastics additive are also disclosed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
