N2 - Polymer/organoclay nanocomposites offer: concurrent property improvements (barrier + +) control of nanostructures at ton quantities (using industry's current processing methods) fine tuning of properties (e.g. prescribed value of fracture toughness, viz. peel strength) new functionalities (e.g. antimicrobial, FR) Viable Technology: Multiple commercial products However: They are not the solution to all materials properties problems or performance requirements !!
