Abstract: Disclosed are porous, low density nanoclay composites that exhibit highly homogeneous microcellular morphology and methods for forming the nanocomposites. The nanocomposites include a three-dimensional matrix having a non-lamellar, generally isotropic cellular structure with little or no macroscopic pores. The nanocomposites also include a gel that may be a noncovalently cross-linked, thermoreversible gel. The nanocomposites may include a binder and/or fibrous reinforcement materials. The nanocomposites may be formed according to a freeze-drying process in which ice crystal growth is controlled to prevent formation of macroscopic pores in the composite materials.

Abstract: This invention relates to a carpet tile that includes a polyolefin secondary backing layer. In particular, this invention relates to modular carpet tiles having at least one layer of polyolefin-containing thermoplastic polymer in the secondary backing of the carpet tile. By modifying the composition of the carpet tiles in this manner, the carpet tiles are able to withstand the high temperatures associated with surface printing of the tiles, while still maintaining cold temperature flexibility.

Abstract: A process for forming a nano-composite including mixing a first and second thermoplastic polymer in a molten state forming a molten polymer blend. The second polymer is soluble in a first solvent and the first polymer is insoluble in the first solvent. The first polymer forms discontinuous regions in the second polymer. Next, the polymer blend is subjected to extensional flow, shear stress, and heat forming nanofibers where less than about 30% by volume of the nanofibers are bonded to other nanofibers. Next the polymer blend with nanofibers is cooled and the first intermediate is formed into a pre-consolidation formation. The pre-consolidation formation is then consolidated causing nanofiber movement, randomization, and at least 70% by volume of the nanofibers to fuse to other nanofibers. According to one aspect, the second intermediate is then subjected to the first solvent to the dissolving away at least a portion of the second polymer.
