Production of nanocomposite containing lamellar clay and polymer, useful e.g. in flame retardant applications, by mixing in presence of bifunctional solvent with both organophilic and hydrophilic groups

摘要

Production of nanocomposites (A), containing lamellar clay(s) (I) and polymer(s) (II), involves contacting (I), (II) and a bifunctional solvent (III) having both an organophilic group suitable for dissolving (II) and a hydrophilic group suitable for reacting with (I).
