Composite material and process for manufacturing same

摘要

Composite material with high mechanical strength and excellent high-temperature characteristics comprising a polymer matrix containing polyamide and layers of a silicate uniformly dispersed in the order of molecules in the polymer matrix, each of said silicate layers being 7 to 12 ANGSTROM thick and the interlayer distance being at least 20 ANGSTROM ; and a process for manufacturing such composite material.
