CATALYST-CONTAINING CLAY MATERIALS FOR COMPOSITES IN POLYMER OF MACROCYCLIC OLIGOMERS
摘要
<p>Clays useful as fillers for preparing nanocomposites are combined with a polymerization catalyst by mixing the clay and the catalyst, generally in the presence of a diluent. The catalyst at least partially intercalates the clay or becomes chemically bonded to the clay. The catalyst-containing clays are then useful for preparing composites of the clay in polymers of a macrocyclic oligomer, by dispersing the clays into the oligomers and subsequently polymerizing the oligomer.</p>
