Polymer-zeolite nanocomposites : preparation, characterization and application in heavy-metal removal

M.Sc. (Chemistry) === Polymer nanocomposites are a new class of composites in which at least one dimension of the particles dispersed in the polymer matrix is in the nanometer range. Recently, different types of zeolite minerals, either natural (Clinoptilolite, chabazite, modernite) or synthetic (A-...
