This is a review of the existing studies on the Polymer/ clay nano composite used for improving water and moisture barrier in coating. Clays have been and continue to be one of the more important industrial minerals. Research and development activities by clay scientists in academia, government, and industry are continually resulting in new and innovative clay products; many of these new applications are the result of improved processing which provides clays of higher purity, more precise particle size and distribution, whiter and brighter colour, modified surface chemistry, and other physical and chemical modifications. Some new and improved clay products include tailored or engineered paper coating kaolins, nanocomposites for plastics etc. The use of mineral pigments in coating to provide improved barrier properties has recently gaining increased attention. This article describes the use of Polymer nano clay for improving the barrier properties of the coated paper studied by several researchers. J Material Sci Eng Volume 4 • Issue 1 • 1000151 .
The Paper Industry Technical Association (PITA) is an independent organisation which operates for the general benefit of its members – both individual and corporate – dedicated to promoting and improving the technical and scientific knowledge of those working in the UK pulp and paper industry. Formed in 1960, it serves the Industry, both manufacturers and suppliers, by providing a forum for members to meet and network; it organises visits, conferences and training seminars that cover all aspects of papermaking science. It also publishes the prestigious journal Paper Technology and the PITA Annual Review , both sent free to members, and a range of other technical publications which include conference proceedings and the acclaimed Essential Guide to Aqueous Coating .
