Polyethylene terephthalate/clay nanocomposites with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane as dispersant

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)/clay nanocomposite is an attractive high performance material that can be used for demanding applications due to its potential to exhibit superior properties at low clay loadings. However, organoclays do not have the adequate thermal stability to withstand the high t...
