POLYMER COMPOSITE COMPRISING A HYDROXY-FUNCTIONALIZED POLYETHER OR POLYESTER AND AN INORGANIC FILLER AND METHOD FOR PREPARING THE SAME

A polymer composite comprising a hydroxy-phenoxyether or hydroxy-phenoxy ester polymer matrix and an inorganic filler is prepared by melt-blending the polymer and the inorganic filler. The filler may be an inorganic metal oxide, metal hydroxide, metal carbonate, metal nitride, metal carbide or metal...

Summary:A polymer composite comprising a hydroxy-phenoxyether or hydroxy-phenoxy ester polymer matrix and an inorganic filler is prepared by melt-blending the polymer and the inorganic filler. The filler may be an inorganic metal oxide, metal hydroxide, metal carbonate, metal nitride, metal carbide or metal boride. Methods of polymer composite preparation involving in situ type polymerization may also be used. The polymer composites have increased barrier capabilities compared to the unmodified polymers.
