Effect of tethering chemistry of cationic surfactants on clay exfoliation, electrospinning and diameter of PMMA/clay nanocomposite fibers

We examine the influence of tethering chemistry of cationic surfactants on exfoliation of montmorillonite (MMT) clay dispersed in methyl methacrylate (MMA) followed by in-situ polymerization to form poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanocomposites, the effect of exfoliation and clay loading on the rh...
