Solution-Mediated Approach Yields Transparent Films. It is possible to prepare optically transparent nanocomposite films of PMMA reinforced with montmorillonite by a solution-mediated approach amenable to spray or dip coating, according to researchers from the University of Dayton and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (Dayton, OH). As described at the fall meeting of the Materials Research Society in Boston, the research team prepared PMMA composite films by mixing the polymer with two organically modified montmorillonites, Cloisite 6A and Cloisite 15A, in different solvents to ...
