It was recently shown that clay/acrylate nanocomposite polymers can be easily synthesized by UV-radiation curing of multiacrylate monomers containing silicate nanoparticles. As Chapter 6 deals with conventional clay/ acrylate nanocomposites, we will restrict the scope of this chapter to the highly crosslinked nanocomposite materials obtained by photopolymerization of clay-based acrylate resins. The overall process is represented schematically in Fig. 7.1.

The UV-radiation curing technology is not restricted to the synthesis of clay-acrylate nanocomposites, but it can be extended to other types of polymer systems, such as crosslinked epoxides, vinyl ethers and interpenetrating polymer networks, as well as to other types of layered nanoparticles, such as superconductive nanofillers and magnetic particles. Future work should be...
