• Sommario/riassunto: Polymer nanocomposites are a class of reinforced polymers with low quantities of nanometric-sized clay particles which give them improved barrier properties, fire resistance and strength. Such properties have made them valuable in components such as panels and as barrier and coating materials in automobile, civil and electrical engineering as well as packaging. Polymer nanocomposites provides a comprehensive review of the main types of polymer nanocomposite and their properties.
