  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Polyolefins: 50 years after Ziegler and Natta II

Part of the book series: Advances in Polymer Science ((POLYMER,volume 258))

Abstract

This chapter briefely overviews the polymer-layered silicate nanocomposites, including the structure and properties of the layered silicates and their modifications. It also addresses the developments in synthesizing polyolefin/clay nanocomposites by olefin polymerization under catalysis of clay intercalated precatalysts. It mainly focuses on the synthetic routes, structural characterization, and properties of polyolefin/clay nanocomposites.
