Incineration of Nanoclay Composites Leads to Byproducts with Reduced Cellular Reactivity

Abstract Addition of nanoclays into a polymer matrix leads to nanocomposites with enhanced properties to be used in plastics for food packaging applications. Because of the plastics’ high stored energy value, such nanocomposites make good candidates for disposal via municipal solid waste plants. How...
