  • CLAYS PRE-ACTIVATED WITH INTERCALATED POLYMERIZATION INITIATION SITES
    Publication number: 20090048383
    Abstract: A modified clay may be made by contacting a clay with an unsaturated cationic compound and an alkoxyamine, or an adduct thereof. The resulting pre-activated clay, which contains a cationic alkoxyamine bound to the clay, may be further treated with a monomer to provide a polymer that is bound to the clay, thereby forming a nanocomposite material. The nanocomposite material may in turn be blended with another polymer prepared from the same or a different monomer.
