Abstract
Nanocomposites of maleic anhydride-grafted HDPE (HDMA) and the organoclay Cloisite 20A (20A) have been prepared by melt-compounding, solution-blending and static annealing of polymer/clay powder mixtures. It has been shown that solution-blending of HDMA with 20A fails to produce intercalated composites. Fast intercalation was observed when solution-blending HDMA/clay composites were annealed. The nanocomposites prepared in the melt under shear...
