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

## Abstract **Summary:** More than twenty years have passed since we invented PCN, in which only a few wt.β% of silicate is randomly and homogeneously dispersed in the polymer matrix. When molded, these nanocomposites show superior properties compared to those of pristine polymers. The number of pa
## Abstract This contribution aims at reviewing on very recent developments in syntheses, properties and (future) applications of polymerβbased nanocomposites filled with either organoclays and/or carbon nanotubes. Undoubtedly, the keyβchallenge remains to reach a high level of nanoparticle dissoci
