Theoretical analyzing of monomers adsorbing in nano-slits.

A revised model based on Aranovich-Donohue Theory was built in this paper and was used to indicate the adsorbing behaviors of monomers in nano slits. This work tried to establish a theoretical model and get the fundamental mechanisms of the in situ-monomer-intercalation process which is the most common production method of polymer-layer silicate intercalated nanocomposite. According to the results, the multilevel adsorption and 3D phase transition phenomenon in nano slits predicted by Aranovich-Donohue Theory do not exit in reality.
