The hybridization of Saponite nanoclay and polymers could improve various properties of resultant nanocomposites. The synergetic enhancements should originate from the specific attribute of each component. Toward an important objective for the development of multi-functional nanocomposites, is that the bulk physical properties should be easy to tailor for different purposes. Specifically, organic polymer-based nanocomposites generally have many advantages such as long-term stability and good processability, and inorganic nanoparticles possess outstanding optical, catalytic, electronic and magnetic properties. By combining the attractive functionalities of both components, resultant nanocomposites could potentially provide many applications in various areas such as automotive, aerospace, opto-electronics, etc.
