Methods for the preparation of polyamide nanocomposite compositions by in situ and solid state polymerizations

摘要

A process to prepare a polymer nanocomposite composition comprising forming a flowable mixture of a polyamide and a silicate material; dissociating at least about 50 % but not all of said silicate material; and subjecting the polyamide in the dissociated mixture to solid state polymerization to form the nanocomposite.
