The Aggregation Process as Large-Scale Disorder Cause in Nanocomposites Polymer/Organoclay

90It has been shown that organoclay platelets aggregation in “packets” (tactoids) results in large-scale disorder intensification that reduces nanofiller anisotropy degree. In its turn, this factor decreases essentially nanocomposites reinforcement degree. The interfacial adhesion role in anisotropy level definition has been shown.
