Fig. 4.9 Frequency distributions of Cloisite 30B clay length and thickness in PVA/Cloisite 30B
clay bionanocomposites at different clay contents: a, b 3 wt%, c, d 5 wt% and e, f 10 wt% [12]
3D NBC nanoparticles had relatively low aspect ratios when compared with 1D
platelet-like Cloisite 30B clays [23].
Overall, aspect ratio may play a significant role in mechanical performance of
nanocomposites when nanofiller shape and structure are only considered within
polymer matrices. However, for different types of nanofillers, several other factors
