NANOCOMPOSITE COMPOSITION AND SYSTEM

A nanocomposite composition (10) includes a polymer (14) and a barrier component (16) sufficiently dispersed within the polymer (14) so as to define a tortuous path (36) within the polymer (14). The barrier component (16) includes a nano-constituent (24) including a plurality of layers (18) and a ma...

Summary:A nanocomposite composition (10) includes a polymer (14) and a barrier component (16) sufficiently dispersed within the polymer (14) so as to define a tortuous path (36) within the polymer (14). The barrier component (16) includes a nano-constituent (24) including a plurality of layers (18) and a macro-constituent (28) including a plurality of particles (30). Each of the plurality of layers (18) has a first average thickness (12) and each of the plurality of particles (30) has a second average thickness (34) that is greater than the first average thickness (12). A nanocomposite system (42) includes a substrate (44) and a coating (46) disposed on the substrate (44) and formed from the nanocomposite composition (10).
