NANOPARTICLES used as fillers or additives in polymers for various desired effects are receiving an increased interest for research and development. Various types of nanoparticles, including nanocarbon, carbon nanotubes, nanoclays, and metal oxides, are currently used to modify the polymer performance. The viable interest in the use of nanoclays for the modification of polymeric material for numerous applications may be indicated from the increased commercial interest and consumption of clay nanocomposites that was almost one-quarter in 2005 of the total nanocomposite consumed. The essential nanoclay raw material is montmorillonite. Nanoclay technology is a recent development; however, the science of clay has existed since prehistoric times. Ceramists have used nanoparticles since antiquity however, nanotechnology is the knowingly scientific utilization of nanoparticles.
