## Abstract This study describes an effective way for the preparation of well‐dispersed, high‐loaded PVA/bentonite nanocomposites with improved properties, based on nanoscale interactions. To this end, a series of Poly(vinyl alcohol)—bentonite clay nanocomposites have been prepared via solvent cast
Nanocomposites have been prepared from a range of hyperbranched polymers (HBPs) and montmorillonite clays (MMTs) by solution processing. With high levels of exfoliation significant changes in rheological behaviour were observed. Rheological models for conventional filled polymers led to estimates of
