Polyethylene Terephthalate-Clay Nanocomposites
Pinku Chandra Nath, Nishithendu Bikash Nandi, Biplab Roy
This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of clay-based PET nanocomposites. The different methods applied to prepare clay-based PET nanocomposites, their morphological and structural interpretation, improvements in mechanical and material characteristics, melt-state rheological and crystallization behavioural patterns, and, subsequently, current PET-based clay nanocomposites materials applications are all discussed.
