Clay-polymer composite nanomaterials represent an emerging area of research. Loading polymers with clay particles essentially enhances the composite strength features. Of particular interest are different nano-assembly methods, such as silane mono and multilayers, polyelectrolyte layer-by-layer assembly, and others. An important development was reached for tubular and fibrous clay nanoparticles, such as halloysite, sepiolite, and imogolite. Polymer clay nanoparticles can be prepared as sheets with 1-nm thickness and width of a few hundred nm (e.g., kaolin and montmorillonite). Fibrous clays significantly reinforce the nano-composites in the assembly with biopolymers and other green polymers, leading to functional hybrid bio nano-composites. The scope of this Special Issue comprehensively includes the synthesis and characterization of polymer clay nano-composites used for several applications, including nano-clay polymer composites and hybrid nano-assemblies.graphene oxidepolysaccharidewater resistancenanocompositeslayered silicatepolyimideintercalationbarriercompositeindentation recoveryionic networkorganically modified claysnanotechnology2-polybutadienedoxorubicinsericiteadsorptionmorphologyphenyltrimethylammonium chloridesupercritical CO2blowing agenthalloysite nanotubesmechanical propertiesglycerolammonium persulfateTGA1interfacial interactionscarbon fibersnanocomposite materialssilica solN?-methylenebisacrylamideintercalation stabilitypolymer compositesclay-polymer nanocompositesin-situ intercalationattapulgite/polypyrrole nanocompositefish gelatinpolyacrylic acidfuzzy optimizationAFMvariable costorganic montmorillonitepositron annihilationwhey protein isolateinterfaceCTABNhyaluronic acidswelling capacitywater shutoffmontmorillonitesol-gel transitionin situ polymerizationhexadecyltrimethylammonium bromideclay-amine interaction mechanismsgelation kineticsFTIRsurface graftingPareto setla uptake and releasepolyaminespolystyrene foamCD44 receptor targetedtribological propertypolyethylene oxidestructure effectscatalytic compositepolystyrenenanoclaythermal stabilitysacrificial bondPd catalysisradical polymerizationdental resinsreinforcingmontmorillonite clayscoatingsatrazinecellulose nanofibrilssoap-free emulsion polymerizationLAPdoubly functionalized montmorillonitedispersionorgano-claysLeporatti Stefano1295569ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910367748603321Polymer Clay Nano-composites3027388UNINA
