The most common PNCs today are those having dispersed clay platelets known as clay-containing polymeric nanocomposites (CPNCs) [Utracki, 2004b].

Polymer blends have been used as matrices of polymeric nanocomposites (PNGs) or more precisely clay-containing polymeric nanocomposites (CPNCs) since the early 1990s [64]. The clay platelets migrate to the interphase, strengthen and rigidify it.

Polymer-clay nanocomposites are applied in packing, transport, sports equipment, and other industries. However, mechanical, thermal, and other physicochemical properties of clay-containing polymeric nanocomposites are still a subject of many investigations.
