Molecular composites dispersive transport

Composites are widely used in such diverse areas as transportation, construction, electronics and consumer products. They offer unusual combinations of stiffness, strength and weight that are difficult to attain separately from the individual components. The advent of nanoscience and nanotechnologies has continuously provided the impetus pushing for the development of materials with fascinating properties and a rich variety of applications. Polymer-clay (PC) nanocomposites represent a new class of materials based on reinforcement of polymeric materials by dispersion of nano-scale clay particles at molecular level in the polymer matrix. Because of their nanometer size features, nanocomposites possess unique properties typically not shared by their more conventional miaocomposite counterparts and therefore offer new technology and business opportunities.
