MELT PROCESS FORMATION OF POLYMER NANOCOMPOSITE OF EXFOLIATED LAYERED MATERIAL

摘要

This invention relates to a process of forming a polymeric nanocomposite comprising a continuous polymeric phase formed from a melt processible polymer having a melt processing temperature equal to or greater than about 220 DEG C and platelet particles having an average thickness equal to or less than about 50 ANGSTROM , and a maximum thickness of about 100 ANGSTROM having a secondary or primary ammonium cationic complex, a quaternary phosphonium cationic complex bonded to surface of said particles, the composite material formed by said process and an article formed from the composite material.
