Synthesis and characterization of polyolefin–silicate nanocomposites: a catalyst intercalation and in situ polymerization approach

Jeffrey S. Bergman, Geoffrey W. Coates, Hua Chen, Emmanuel P. Giannelis and Malcolm G. Thomas

An organically modified fluorohectorite intercalated by a well-defined cationic palladium complex forms an exfoliated polyolefin–silicate nanocomposite material when exposed to olefinic monomer.
