Bhattacharya, Rahul K. Gupta, and Musa R. Kamal, variously from RMIT in Australia and McGill University in Canada, provide an overview of fundamental principles governing the synthesis and behavior of polymer and clay nanocomposites, including the thermodynamics, kinetics, rheology, and morphology. They also consider practical aspects such as processing and performance, and survey commercial applications in packaging, automobiles, electronics, and telecommunications.
