  • NANOCOMPOSITE INCLUDING HEAT-TREATED CLAY AND POLYMER
    Publication number: 20120129999
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for producing, and a composite including, a roasted aluminosilicate (e.g., halloysite). A uniform dispersion of an aluminosilicate can be obtained using roasted halloysite clay and subsequently combining it with a polymer in a melt mixing system to produce a composite.

  • NANOCLAY FILLED FLUOROPOLYMER DISPERSIONS AND METHOD OF FORMING SAME
    Publication number: 20090005489
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an aqueous dispersion and a method for making said dispersion, and more particularly, a dispersion that comprises a nanoclay such as a tubular clay (e.g. halloysite), a fluoropolymer and the requisite surfactants for dispersion stability. In various embodiments, and applications thereof to substrates and the like, the dispersion improves the manufacturability of articles that include coating fluoropolymer dispersions while retaining the unique properties of the fluoropolymer coating.
