Abstract
The extensive use of non-biodegradable plastic products has resulted in significant environmental problems caused by their accumulation in landfills and their proliferation into water bodies. Biodegradable polymers offer a potential solution to mitigate these issues through the utilization of renewable resources which are abundantly available and biodegradable, making them environmentally friendly. However, biodegradable polymers face challenges such as relatively low mechanical strength and thermal resistance, relatively inferior gas barrier properties, low processability, and economic viability. To overcome these limitations, researchers are investigating the incorporation of nanofillers, specifically bentonite clay, into biodegradable polymeric matrices. Bentonite clay is an aluminum phyllosilicate with interesting properties such as a high cation exchange capacity, a large surface area, and environmental compatibility. However, achieving complete dispersion of nanoclays in polymeric matrices remains a challenge due to these materials' hydrophilic and hydrophobic nature. Several methods are employed to prepare polymer-clay nanocomposites, including solution casting, melt extrusion, spraying, inkjet printing, and electrospinning. Biodegradable polymeric nanocomposites are versatile and promising in various industrial applications such as electromagnetic shielding, energy storage, electronics, and flexible electronics. Additionally, combining bentonite clay with other fillers such as graphene can significantly reduce production costs compared to the exclusive use of carbon nanotubes or metallic fillers in the matrix. This work reviews the development of bentonite clay-based composites with biodegradable polymers for multifunctional applications. The composition, structure, preparation methods, and characterization techniques of these nanocomposites are discussed, along with the challenges and future directions in this field.

Abstract
Clays and its composites have received considerable attention recently due to their low cost, wide availability and low environmental impact. The development of various preparation processes and applications of innovative polymer-nanoclay composites has been aided by recent breakthroughs in material technologies. Novel polymer-nanoclay composites with better qualities have been effectively adopted in a variety of fields, including aerospace, car, construction, petroleum, biomedical, and wastewater treatment, owing to innovative production processes. Due to their superior qualities, such as increased density, strength, relatively large surface areas, high elastic modulus, flame retardancy, and thermomechanical/optoelectronic/magnetic capabilities, these composites are acknowledged as potential advanced materials. Hence the present paper reviews the advances in synthesis and preparation of clay-polymer nanocomposites. In addition, this study also focuses on the various techniques used for clay-polymer nanocomposites characterization e.g. scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential colorimetric analysis (DSC), x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic (FTIR) characterization. These advanced physico-mechanical and chemical characterization techniques would be effective in understanding the most appropriate application of clay polymer nanocomposites. In addition, the application of clay polymer nanocomposites in biomedical sector is also discussed in brief.

Abstract
Polycaprolactone (PCL) has been widely applied for its excellent physicochemical properties, but it also has common problems with biopolymers. It is important to investigate energy-efficient polymerization crafts and composite catalytic systems in the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) to prepare high-performance PCL matrix composites. In this study, a composite catalytic system of modified halloysite nanotubes loaded with stannous chloride (APTES-P-h-HNTs-SnCl2) was successfully synthesized via hydroxylation, calcination, silane coupling agent modification and physical loading. It was used to catalyze the microwave-assisted in situ ROP of ε-CL to synthesize PCL matrix nanocomposites with modified halloysite nanotubes (PCL-HNTs). The structure, morphology, polymerization, thermal properties and electrochemical performance of products were subsequently investigated. The results show that PCL-HNTs have been successfully synthesized with connected petal-like and porous structures. Compared with PCL, the film-forming and thermal properties of PCL-HNTs have been significantly improved. Moreover, PCL-HNTs have a potential application value in the field of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs). For the composite catalyst, there existed synergetic catalytic effect between the hydroxyl groups and the metal center. All chain growth simultaneously proceeded between the layers or on the surface of HNTs, conducting the in situ ROP.![]()

Abstract
Abstract
Carboxymethylcellulose/poly(ethylene glycol) (CMC/PEG) blend and CMC/PEG/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were produced by the solvent casting method. The clay, a sodium MMT, was incorporated in the polymer matrix at low weight loadings (from 1 wt% to 7 wt%). The MMT dispersion in the matrix was evaluated by X-ray diffraction, which revealed an intercalated structure of the nanocomposites. Different levels of intercalation have been detected. The changes in morphology caused by the addition of layered silicate on CMC/PEG blend were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM images of CMC/PEG blend containing 5% of MMT displayed more homogenous morphology than CMC/PEG blend. The compatibilizing performance of the filler was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The effect of the introduction of the clay on the crystallization temperature, melting temperature and crystallization degree of CMC/PEG revealed that clay behaved as a nucleating agent and enhanced the crystallization rate of PEG. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the addition of a small percentage of montmorillonite (1%) was enough to improve the thermal stability of the nanocomposites.
