Nanolin series of nanoclay introduced by zhejiang clay chemicals co. Ltd. Are made from high purified smectite that exhibit ultrafine phase dimensions, typically in the range 1-100 nm. By adding nanolin series of nanoclay into these different types of polymer;experimental work on these materials has generally shown that virtually all types and classes of nanocomposites lead to new and improved properties such as increased stiffness, strength, and heat resistance, and decreased moisture absorption, flammability, and permeability, when compared to their micro- and macrocomposite counterparts. Specifically, commercially available
Nylon 6/clay nanocomposite shows that the polymer matrix having layered clay
Minerals dispersed therein exhibits improved mechanical strength, heat distortion temperature, and impermeability to gas and water.
