3. Developing polyHIPE materials with complex structures

3.1 PolyHIPE nanocomposite

Polymer/silicate nanocomposites in sheet form have attracted a great deal of interest, as they often exhibit remarkable properties . In most cases, the most significant improvements in the mechanical and/or thermal properties of nanocomposites are achieved when the exfoliated situation is reached, i.e. when the silicate sheets are delaminated and swollen by the polymer chains. The problem is that native montmorillonites (clays) are hydrophilic in nature, making it difficult for them to disperse in an organic phase, and for monomer...
