Nanoclay-reinforced polymers have attracted considerable universal attention in academic and industrial research due to their outstanding properties and their ever-expanding utilization in diversified applications. In that regard, in the present review, the structure of layered silicate clay, as well as procedures for clay material modification, are outlined. We also discuss the general characterization techniques, synthesis methods, and various properties of polymer-clay nanocomposites (PCNs), and some examples likewise are depicted from the scientific literature. The study's primary goal is to provide an up-to-date survey of polymer-clay nanocomposites and their specific applications in industries such as automotive, flame-retardant, and biomedical applications, coating, and packaging.

Hydroxyapatite (HAP), a natural constituent of bone tissue is commonly used for the clinical treatment of bone defects due to its similar structure with bone and excellent biocompatibility. However, the processing exertion, poor osteoinductive capability and poor mechanical strength of HAP needs further addressing for its immense implementation in tissue engineering. Different approaches have been reported to escalate the mechanical hardness and osteogenic potential of HAP.

In this study, ternary blends based on chitosan, polyvinyl alcohol, and polyethylene glycol reinforced with organically modified montmorillonite (nanoclay) clay were synthesized. These ternary blends were evaluated as transdermal drug delivery patches using tramadol as a model drug. The FTIR study showed interaction among important functional groups and compatibility among the mixing components.

Polymer nanocomposites consist of a polymer matrix and reinforcing particles that have at least one dimension under 100 nm. The processing of nanocomposite polymers is the most important stage, determining the final properties of nanocomposites. Nanocomposites are now preferentially prepared by melt-mixing using conventional compounding processes such as twin-screw extrusion.
