Thermoplastic polymer nanocomposites based on polydopamine-coated clay : preparation, structures and properties

Polymer/clay nanocomposites have been widely investigated over past three decades due to the dramatic boost in properties at low filler content. Although organoclay (clay modified with organic surfactants) is commonly used to reinforce the polymer, yet the reinforcing extent has yet reached the opti...
