This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of clay-based PET nanocomposites. The different methods applied to prepare clay-based PET nanocomposites, their morphological and structural interpretation, improvements in mechanical and material characteristics, melt-state rheological and crystallization behavioural patterns, and, subsequently, current PET-based clay nanocomposites materials applications are all discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
