By polymerizing
olefins with a transition metal catalyst in the presence of clay,
nanocomposite materials with exfoliated structures can be made.
These nanocomposites are of interest due to their potential enhancement
in physical properties such as, flexural modulus and flame
retardancy. We are currently developing methods for making
nanocomposites, measuring their physical properties, as well as
understanding the activation mechanism of the catalyst by clay.
