Opis

The work reported in the book deals with the surface modifications of the organic and inorganic substrates in order to achieve special applications. Inorganic montmorillonite layered silicate surfaces were organically modified to generate polymer-clay nanocomposites for permeation- barrier packaging films, whereas surface properties of polymer particles were modified by polymerization of thermally sensitive polymer brushes from the surface to be used for chromatographic separations.
