Most concretes, however, contain additional ingredients such as chemical admixtures including air-entraining admixtures, fly ash, fibers, slag, and other products.\u003cbr\u003eThe physical, chemical and durability characteristics of concrete depend on many factors such as the type and amount of the components, temperature, pore and pore size distribution, surface area, interfacial features, exposure conditions, etc. Consequently, a good understanding of various processes occurring in cementitious systems necessitates the application of diverse techniques.\u003cbr\u003eSeveral physical, chemical, and mechanical techniques are applied in concrete research and practice. They provide important information, including characterization of raw materials and cured concrete, quality control, quantitative estimation of products, prediction of performance, development of accelerated test methods, study of interrelationships amongst physical, chemical, mechanical, and durability characteristics, development of new materials, etc. In most instances, no single technique provides all the needed information and hence application of several techniques becomes necessary. Information on the application of various techniques in concrete is dispersed in literature, and few books are available that serve as a source or reference. Hence a handbook incorporating the latest knowledge on the application of various investigative techniques in concrete science and technology has been prepared. Standard test methods are not covered in this book as they are well described in publications of national and international standards organizations.\u003cbr\u003eThe book is divided into twenty chapters. Each chapter describes the technique and its application and limitations for the study of concrete,. Each chapter also contains a list of important references that should serve as a useful guide for further information.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\nThe first chapter on concrete science describes the essential concepts so that information presented in subsequent chapters can be easily followed. The chapter deals with the formation of cement, its hydration behavior, physicochemical processes related to the cement paste, and several important properties of concrete and durability aspects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 deals with the description of a number of specialized techniques used in conjunction with petrography for the evaluation and analysis of aggregates of concrete.\u003cbr\u003eChemical analysis methods have been applied extensively to analyze the components of concrete, chemical and mineral admixtures, raw materials for making cement and also to estimate cement contents. Modern analytical tools enable much faster analysis than the wet chemical methods. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Chapter 3, chemical analysis techniques reviewed include atomic absorption, x-ray emission and plasma spectroscopy. The chapter also contains information on chemical (wet) methods of analysis.\u003cbr\u003eThermal analysis techniques based on the determination of physical, chemical, and mechanical changes in a material as a function of temperature, have been routinely used in concrete science and technology. Identification, estimation of compounds, kinetics of reactions, mechanisms of the action of admixtures, synthesis of compounds, quality control and causes leading to the deterioration of cementitious materials are investigated by these techniques. Various types of thermal techniques and their applications and limitations are included in Chapter 4.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough comparatively recent, IR spectroscopy is gaining importance, especially with the development of user-friendly equipment as described in the fifth chapter. This technique has been applied for identification of new products and characterization of raw materials, hydrated materials, and deteriorated products. Discussion on Raman spectroscopy, a complementary technique to IR, also forms a part of this chapter.\u003cbr\u003eNuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is a effective tool to probe atomic scale structure and dynamic behavior of cementing materials. The application of NMR for determining the pore structure and transport properties of cement and concrete via relaxation and imaging methods and its application to anhydrous cement and hydrated cement phases form some of the contents of Chapter 6.\u003cbr\u003eScanning Electron Microscopy and its adjunct, microanalytical unit, known as Energy Dispersive X-ray Analyzer, have been accepted as important investigative techniques in concrete technology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7 comprises discussion on the microstructure of hydrated cement paste, C-S-H phase, calcium hydroxide, aluminate hydrate phases, paste-aggregate interface, admixtures, slags, and fly ashes. Also included are studies on the correlation of microstructure with durability.\u003cbr\u003eThe eighth chapter on the application of x-ray diffraction focuses on some of the fundamental aspects of the technique, the hardware and software developments, and its applications to cement and concrete.\u003cbr\u003eAn understanding of the Theology of fresh cement paste and concrete is essential for following the behavior of concrete in the fresh state. Additions and admixtures in concrete alter its Theological behavior. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9 deals with Theological techniques and their application to fresh cement paste and concrete.\u003cbr\u003eDimensional changes occur in cement paste and concrete due to physical, chemical, and electrochemical processes. A discussion of energetics of surface adsorption and volume changes forms the scope of Chapter 10. Relevance of length changes to concrete deterioration is also highlighted in this chapter.\u003cbr\u003eThe use of miniature specimens in cement science investigations has proven to be very valuable because it assures a greater homogeneity of the sample and increased sensitivity to the dimensional changes resulting from physical and chemical processes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11 provides results on compacted powder used as a model system and includes discussion on creep and shrinkage, volume stability, workability, and surface chemical changes.\u003cbr\u003eCorrosion of reinforced concrete is a major destructive process. Many electrochemical techniques have been developed to study corrosion. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 12 presents a comprehensive treatment of the principles of corrosion, factors responsible for corrosion, and corrosion assessment techniques relevant to concrete.\u003cbr\u003eSurface area has an important influence on the rate of reaction of cement to water and other chemicals. Many physical and mechanical characteristics of cement and concrete are modified by changes in the surface area. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Chapter 13, the techniques that are used for measuring surface area are given with respect to their application to systems such as raw materials for cement, hydrated cement, concrete mix, and also to durability studies.\u003cbr\u003eThe pore structure of hydrated cement systems influences significantly the physico-mechanical and chemical behavior of concrete. Several experimental techniques have been employed to evaluate the microstructure of the cement paste. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 14 presents a description of six techniques that have been developed for the determination of pore structure. The relationship between pore structure and strength\/permeability is also included.\u003cbr\u003eThe application of silica polymerization analysis for an understanding of the hydration process and structure of calcium silicate hydrates is detailed in Chapter 15. Three major techniques used for polymerization studies are described.\u003cbr\u003eIn concrete, the physical structure and the state of water in the matrix influences the permeation process. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Chapter 16, test methods that are employed to measure various transport characteristics of concrete are evaluated. The applicability and limitations of these techniques is also reviewed.\u003cbr\u003eInspection and testing of placed concrete may be carried out by nondestructive testing methods. Sonic and pulse velocity techniques are commonly used. Nondestructive methods are also applied to estimate strength, surface hardness, pullout strength, etc. Details of various nondestructive techniques and their applications are included in Chapter 17.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is evidence of a significant impact of computer and information technologies on concrete science and technology. General development of these technologies in recent years is reviewed in Chapter 18. The treatment includes computer models, databases, artificial knowledge-based and computer-integrated systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Chapter 19, entitled \"Image Analysis,\" steps needed to identify reactions of interest and extract quantitative information from digital images are reviewed. In image analysis, multiple images are acquired and analyzed. The principle steps required for image analysis of cementitious materials are described in this chapter.\u003cbr\u003eSome of the more commonly used techniques in concrete studies are presented in Chapters 2 to 19. There has been continued interest in developing new techniques for the investigation of cement and concrete. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 20 comprises the description and application of fourteen of these specialized techniques. They include such techniques as Auger Electron Microscopy, Chromatography, Mass Spectrometry, X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure Analysis, Synchrotron Orbital Radiation Analysis, Mossbauer Spectrometry, Radio Tracer Technique, and Photoacoustic Spectroscopy.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough every attempt has been made to cover the important investigative techniques used in concrete technology, it is quite possible that some information has been excluded or is missing. In addition, some duplication of information occurs in some chapters. This was intentional because some specific chapters may only be of interest to specialized groups, and they provide enough self-contained information so that gleaning through other chapters will not be needed.\u003cbr\u003eThis comprehensive handbook should serve as a reference material to concrete technologists, materials scientists, analytical chemists, engineers, architects, researchers, manufacturers of cement and concrete, standards writing bodies, and users of concrete.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\nDr. V.S.

The chapter deals with the formation of cement, its hydration behavior, physicochemical processes related to the cement paste, and several important properties of concrete and durability aspects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 deals with the description of a number of specialized techniques used in conjunction with petrography for the evaluation and analysis of aggregates of concrete.\u003cbr\u003eChemical analysis methods have been applied extensively to analyze the components of concrete, chemical and mineral admixtures, raw materials for making cement and also to estimate cement contents. Modern analytical tools enable much faster analysis than the wet chemical methods. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Chapter 3, chemical analysis techniques reviewed include atomic absorption, x-ray emission and plasma spectroscopy. The chapter also contains information on chemical (wet) methods of analysis.\u003cbr\u003eThermal analysis techniques based on the determination of physical, chemical, and mechanical changes in a material as a function of temperature, have been routinely used in concrete science and technology. Identification, estimation of compounds, kinetics of reactions, mechanisms of the action of admixtures, synthesis of compounds, quality control and causes leading to the deterioration of cementitious materials are investigated by these techniques. Various types of thermal techniques and their applications and limitations are included in Chapter 4.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough comparatively recent, IR spectroscopy is gaining importance, especially with the development of user-friendly equipment as described in the fifth chapter. This technique has been applied for identification of new products and characterization of raw materials, hydrated materials, and deteriorated products. Discussion on Raman spectroscopy, a complementary technique to IR, also forms a part of this chapter.\u003cbr\u003eNuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is a effective tool to probe atomic scale structure and dynamic behavior of cementing materials. The application of NMR for determining the pore structure and transport properties of cement and concrete via relaxation and imaging methods and its application to anhydrous cement and hydrated cement phases form some of the contents of Chapter 6.\u003cbr\u003eScanning Electron Microscopy and its adjunct, microanalytical unit, known as Energy Dispersive X-ray Analyzer, have been accepted as important investigative techniques in concrete technology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7 comprises discussion on the microstructure of hydrated cement paste, C-S-H phase, calcium hydroxide, aluminate hydrate phases, paste-aggregate interface, admixtures, slags, and fly ashes. Also included are studies on the correlation of microstructure with durability.\u003cbr\u003eThe eighth chapter on the application of x-ray diffraction focuses on some of the fundamental aspects of the technique, the hardware and software developments, and its applications to cement and concrete.\u003cbr\u003eAn understanding of the Theology of fresh cement paste and concrete is essential for following the behavior of concrete in the fresh state. Additions and admixtures in concrete alter its Theological behavior. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9 deals with Theological techniques and their application to fresh cement paste and concrete.\u003cbr\u003eDimensional changes occur in cement paste and concrete due to physical, chemical, and electrochemical processes. A discussion of energetics of surface adsorption and volume changes forms the scope of Chapter 10. Relevance of length changes to concrete deterioration is also highlighted in this chapter.\u003cbr\u003eThe use of miniature specimens in cement science investigations has proven to be very valuable because it assures a greater homogeneity of the sample and increased sensitivity to the dimensional changes resulting from physical and chemical processes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11 provides results on compacted powder used as a model system and includes discussion on creep and shrinkage, volume stability, workability, and surface chemical changes.\u003cbr\u003eCorrosion of reinforced concrete is a major destructive process. Many electrochemical techniques have been developed to study corrosion. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 12 presents a comprehensive treatment of the principles of corrosion, factors responsible for corrosion, and corrosion assessment techniques relevant to concrete.\u003cbr\u003eSurface area has an important influence on the rate of reaction of cement to water and other chemicals. Many physical and mechanical characteristics of cement and concrete are modified by changes in the surface area. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Chapter 13, the techniques that are used for measuring surface area are given with respect to their application to systems such as raw materials for cement, hydrated cement, concrete mix, and also to durability studies.\u003cbr\u003eThe pore structure of hydrated cement systems influences significantly the physico-mechanical and chemical behavior of concrete. Several experimental techniques have been employed to evaluate the microstructure of the cement paste. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 14 presents a description of six techniques that have been developed for the determination of pore structure. The relationship between pore structure and strength\/permeability is also included.\u003cbr\u003eThe application of silica polymerization analysis for an understanding of the hydration process and structure of calcium silicate hydrates is detailed in Chapter 15. Three major techniques used for polymerization studies are described.\u003cbr\u003eIn concrete, the physical structure and the state of water in the matrix influences the permeation process. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Chapter 16, test methods that are employed to measure various transport characteristics of concrete are evaluated. The applicability and limitations of these techniques is also reviewed.\u003cbr\u003eInspection and testing of placed concrete may be carried out by nondestructive testing methods. Sonic and pulse velocity techniques are commonly used. Nondestructive methods are also applied to estimate strength, surface hardness, pullout strength, etc. Details of various nondestructive techniques and their applications are included in Chapter 17.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is evidence of a significant impact of computer and information technologies on concrete science and technology. General development of these technologies in recent years is reviewed in Chapter 18. The treatment includes computer models, databases, artificial knowledge-based and computer-integrated systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Chapter 19, entitled \"Image Analysis,\" steps needed to identify reactions of interest and extract quantitative information from digital images are reviewed. In image analysis, multiple images are acquired and analyzed. The principle steps required for image analysis of cementitious materials are described in this chapter.\u003cbr\u003eSome of the more commonly used techniques in concrete studies are presented in Chapters 2 to 19. There has been continued interest in developing new techniques for the investigation of cement and concrete. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 20 comprises the description and application of fourteen of these specialized techniques. They include such techniques as Auger Electron Microscopy, Chromatography, Mass Spectrometry, X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure Analysis, Synchrotron Orbital Radiation Analysis, Mossbauer Spectrometry, Radio Tracer Technique, and Photoacoustic Spectroscopy.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough every attempt has been made to cover the important investigative techniques used in concrete technology, it is quite possible that some information has been excluded or is missing. In addition, some duplication of information occurs in some chapters. This was intentional because some specific chapters may only be of interest to specialized groups, and they provide enough self-contained information so that gleaning through other chapters will not be needed.\u003cbr\u003eThis comprehensive handbook should serve as a reference material to concrete technologists, materials scientists, analytical chemists, engineers, architects, researchers, manufacturers of cement and concrete, standards writing bodies, and users of concrete.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\nDr. V.S.

Strivens \u003cbr\u003eISBN 1-884207-73-1 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSecond Edition\u003cbr\u003e950 pages\n\u003ch5\u003eSummary\u003c\/h5\u003e\nThe first edition (1986) of this book became immediately recognized for its professional treatment of this important subject. Several thousand copies of this book are used worldwide. R. Lambourne, the Editor of the first edition assembled the team of leading specialists in different fields of this multidisciplinary subject. They had the knowledge and experience to write with authority. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe paints and coatings technology is composed of very diverse scientific subjects too difficult for one author to master. For example, color measurement and paint rheology require very different expertise. Early in the process, it was decided that the highest quality book can be obtained if experts in different fields will be given tasks to write about the subject they have practiced for many years. On the other hand, the multi-authored books usually suffer from the lack of coordination. To address this matter, authors and editor working for one company were selected to make team effort possible. The aim was to fill the existing gap in the scientific literature which is lacking a modern textbook\/monograph on paints and coatings. The changes in chemical and paint industries in the last 12 years made sections of the book ready for a thorough revision, thus this second edition become necessary. The former Editor is joined in this task by T. A. Strivens and several new authors. The previous chapters were updated and two additional chapters are written to create the book to serve the industry in the first part of the 21st century. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is not only this multidisciplinary treatment which makes this book so special that it can serve as the only needed source of information but the key to its success and usefulness is in the subtitle theory and practice which makes this book so indispensable. The authors of chapters employed by the large paint and coatings producer had to their disposal unique resources which resulted in this important combination of practical knowledge on how to design these products based on theoretical findings and analysis of field results. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first part of the book, composed of five chapters, deals with the chemistry of paint manufacture. Here, polymers, pigments, solvents, and additives are discussed. These chapters are also designed to provide the reader with suggestions regarding the use of these raw materials in different types of paints. The next three chapters discuss the physical chemistry of dispersion, particle size measurement and the processes of paint making. The presence of these chapters, in the beginning, makes further discussion of different coatings easier to understand. Paints and coatings available in the market are grouped and discussed in five chapters devoted to coatings for buildings, automotive paints, automotive refinish paints, general industrial paints, and coatings for marine applications. Each type of paint is evaluated from the point of view of requirements, composition, substrates, the effect of application conditions on performance, the effect of metal corrosion on performance and its removal from substrates, methods of application, and future trends. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe next five chapters are devoted to the characteristics of coatings performance such as rheology, mechanical properties, appearance, and durability. Here, in addition to the background of these studies, the reference is made to the composition and paint performance in the field. The book is concluded with two new chapters on the application of computers and modelling in the paint industry and health and safety recommendations.

Several thousand copies of this book are used worldwide. R. Lambourne, the Editor of the first edition assembled the team of leading specialists in different fields of this multidisciplinary subject. They had the knowledge and experience to write with authority. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe paints and coatings technology is composed of very diverse scientific subjects too difficult for one author to master. For example, color measurement and paint rheology require very different expertise. Early in the process, it was decided that the highest quality book can be obtained if experts in different fields will be given tasks to write about the subject they have practiced for many years. On the other hand, the multi-authored books usually suffer from the lack of coordination. To address this matter, authors and editor working for one company were selected to make team effort possible. The aim was to fill the existing gap in the scientific literature which is lacking a modern textbook\/monograph on paints and coatings. The changes in chemical and paint industries in the last 12 years made sections of the book ready for a thorough revision, thus this second edition become necessary. The former Editor is joined in this task by T. A. Strivens and several new authors. The previous chapters were updated and two additional chapters are written to create the book to serve the industry in the first part of the 21st century. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is not only this multidisciplinary treatment which makes this book so special that it can serve as the only needed source of information but the key to its success and usefulness is in the subtitle theory and practice which makes this book so indispensable. The authors of chapters employed by the large paint and coatings producer had to their disposal unique resources which resulted in this important combination of practical knowledge on how to design these products based on theoretical findings and analysis of field results. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first part of the book, composed of five chapters, deals with the chemistry of paint manufacture. Here, polymers, pigments, solvents, and additives are discussed. These chapters are also designed to provide the reader with suggestions regarding the use of these raw materials in different types of paints. The next three chapters discuss the physical chemistry of dispersion, particle size measurement and the processes of paint making. The presence of these chapters, in the beginning, makes further discussion of different coatings easier to understand. Paints and coatings available in the market are grouped and discussed in five chapters devoted to coatings for buildings, automotive paints, automotive refinish paints, general industrial paints, and coatings for marine applications. Each type of paint is evaluated from the point of view of requirements, composition, substrates, the effect of application conditions on performance, the effect of metal corrosion on performance and its removal from substrates, methods of application, and future trends. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe next five chapters are devoted to the characteristics of coatings performance such as rheology, mechanical properties, appearance, and durability. Here, in addition to the background of these studies, the reference is made to the composition and paint performance in the field. The book is concluded with two new chapters on the application of computers and modelling in the paint industry and health and safety recommendations. These chapters refer to the most recent changes in the approaches taken to design a paint and required performance characteristics in environment cautious of pollution (these elements of thought are also included in the chapters on individual paints). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis combination of topics makes the usefulness of the book going beyond the paint manufacturer.

Companies such as Nanocor and Honeywell are already commercially exploiting nanocomposite materials. A small amount of nanodispersed filler leads to an improvement in material properties, such as modulus, strength, heat resistance, flame retardancy, and lowered gas permeability. Adding clay nanofillers to biodegradable polymers has also been shown to enhance compostability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe enhancement of material properties has been linked to the interfacial interaction between the polymer matrix and the organically modified layered silicate filler structure. The filler particles provide a very high surface area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMontmorillonite, hectorite, and saponite are the most commonly used layered silicates. For a nanocomposite to be formed successfully, the mineral must disperse into separate layers. The surface chemistry is also important - ion exchange reactions with cations (commonly alkyl ammonium or alkyl phosphonium cations) allow the silicate to be compatibilised with the polymer matrix. The strong interactions between the two materials lead to dispersion at the nanometre level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolymer\/layered silicate nanocomposites are prepared by a variety of routes. One of the first materials, a Nylon 6 nanocomposite, was prepared by in situ polymerisation of -caprolactam in a dispersion of montmorillonite. The silicate can be dispersed in a liquid monomer or a solution of monomer. It has also been possible to melt-mix polymers with layered silicates, avoiding the use of organic solvents. The latter method permits the use of conventional processing techniques such as injection moulding and extrusion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNanocomposites have been formed with a wide variety of polymers including: epoxy, polyurethane, polyetherimide, poybenzoxazine, polypropylene, polystyrene, polymethyl methacrylate, polycaprolactone, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol, polyvinylidene fluoride, polybutadiene, copolymers and liquid crystalline polymers. Summaries of the work carried out on these different materials and references to these studies are included in this Rapra Review Report.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany studies have been carried out to characterise different nanocomposites. Techniques in use include wide-angle X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProcessing techniques are critical in polymer manufacturing and this holds true for nanocomposites. Several processing methods and innovative techniques are discussed. For example, Nylon 6 clay nanocomposites have been electrospun from solution, which resulted in highly aligned clay particles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo other types of nanofiller are briefly described here. Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanoparticles combine organic and inorganic segments with nanosized cage structures. Carbon nanotubes have also been examined as they offer unique mechanical and electrical properties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis review is accompanied by around 400 abstracts compiled from the Polymer Library, to facilitate further reading on this subject.

Companies such as Nanocor and Honeywell are already commercially exploiting nanocomposite materials. A small amount of nanodispersed filler leads to an improvement in material properties, such as modulus, strength, heat resistance, flame retardancy, and lowered gas permeability. Adding clay nanofillers to biodegradable polymers has also been shown to enhance compostability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe enhancement of material properties has been linked to the interfacial interaction between the polymer matrix and the organically modified layered silicate filler structure. The filler particles provide a very high surface area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMontmorillonite, hectorite, and saponite are the most commonly used layered silicates. For a nanocomposite to be formed successfully, the mineral must disperse into separate layers. The surface chemistry is also important - ion exchange reactions with cations (commonly alkyl ammonium or alkyl phosphonium cations) allow the silicate to be compatibilised with the polymer matrix. The strong interactions between the two materials lead to dispersion at the nanometre level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolymer\/layered silicate nanocomposites are prepared by a variety of routes. One of the first materials, a Nylon 6 nanocomposite, was prepared by in situ polymerisation of -caprolactam in a dispersion of montmorillonite. The silicate can be dispersed in a liquid monomer or a solution of monomer. It has also been possible to melt-mix polymers with layered silicates, avoiding the use of organic solvents. The latter method permits the use of conventional processing techniques such as injection moulding and extrusion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNanocomposites have been formed with a wide variety of polymers including: epoxy, polyurethane, polyetherimide, poybenzoxazine, polypropylene, polystyrene, polymethyl methacrylate, polycaprolactone, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol, polyvinylidene fluoride, polybutadiene, copolymers and liquid crystalline polymers. Summaries of the work carried out on these different materials and references to these studies are included in this Rapra Review Report.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany studies have been carried out to characterise different nanocomposites. Techniques in use include wide-angle X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProcessing techniques are critical in polymer manufacturing and this holds true for nanocomposites. Several processing methods and innovative techniques are discussed. For example, Nylon 6 clay nanocomposites have been electrospun from solution, which resulted in highly aligned clay particles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo other types of nanofiller are briefly described here. Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanoparticles combine organic and inorganic segments with nanosized cage structures. Carbon nanotubes have also been examined as they offer unique mechanical and electrical properties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis review is accompanied by around 400 abstracts compiled from the Polymer Library, to facilitate further reading on this subject.
