Bridging polymers interlayer structure

We end up with a picture of the interlayer structure of a bridging polymer like that illustrated in Figure 13.7. Although Figure 13.7 is only a sketch, I would like to draw your attention to several features that are consistent with all the results on the clay-PEO system described in the last three chapters. First, some PEO segments zigzag across the surface, in the layer directly adjacent to the surface oxygens of...
