Fire properties of styrenic polymer–clay nanocomposites based on an oligomerically-modified clay [PDF]
An oligomerically-modified clay has been used to fabricate nanocomposites with styrenic polymers, such as polystyrene, high-impacted polystyrene, poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) and acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene by melt blending. The clay dispersion was

Applications of nanocomposites
Carbon nanotubes can be filled with different materials leading to one-dimensional crystallization of salts within the confining nanotube walls. The typical nanotube internal diameter is -1nm. Twisted chains of CdCl2, a polyhedral chain structure with unusual cation coordination, were found.
