A specialist in polymer nanocomposite materials, Ray (King Abdulaziz U., Saudi Arabia) highlights recent developments in these hybrid organic-inorganic systems in which clay nanoparticles are dispersed in polymer matrices to create properties that cannot be achieved with components at larger sizes. His topics include an overview of pure and organically modified clays, techniques for characterizing structure and morphology, mechanical properties, thermal stability, melt-state rheology, and real and potential application.
