This study looked at the peculiarities of making composition hydrogels (CH) from cross-linked polyacrylic acid (PAAc) and bentonite clay (BC). The crystalline structure of montmorillonite has been disrupted in CHs due to the penetrative of polymeric macromolecules between bundle layers, resulting in a uniform homogenous structure, according to optical...

The aim of this research was to determine the mechanical, morphological, and thermal properties of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/bentonite nanocomposites. The sol-gel method is used to create nanocomposites. Natural bentonite (size 35.26 nm) from North Sumatra, Indonesia, was applied to a poly(vinyl alcohol) solution in different amounts, namely 0, 2,...
