Proton NMR relaxation investigations of particle exfoliation and distribution in polymer/clay nanocomposites

In the past two decades polymer/clay nanocomposites (PCNs) have emerged as promising materials that exhibit remarkably improved properties when compared to conventional composites and pristine polymers. Such improvements strongly depend on the dispersion of clay nanoparticles in the polymer matrix....
