Synthesis of an exfoliated kaolinite–poly(urea–formaldehyde) nanocomposite
Hervé Barye Tatang, Jacques Richard Mache, Cyrill Joël Ngally Sabouang, Angelina Razafitianamaharavo, Renaud Gley, Sakeo Kong, Jean Aimé MbeyKaolinite–poly(urea–formaldehyde) nanocomposite was successfully prepared under ambient conditions, by simply immersing kaolinite-urea complex in formaldehyde. A self-healing behavior is observed for the polymer within the nanocomposite.
