Abstract: A modular system for processing an exfoliated aggregate material or a polymer composite material comprising the exfoliated aggregate, utilizing supercritical fluid processing is described. The modular system may provide exfoliated aggregate particulates, polymer composite materials or master batch polymer composite materials.
Abstract: A nano-clay material that exhibits improved compatibility with polymers is described. The nano-clay material may be mixed with polymers to produce a nano-clay polymer nanocomposite material including reduced levels of clay loading. Methods for making the nano-clay nanocomposite material and articles of manufacture from the nanocomposite material are also described.
