This thesis describes the preparation, characterization and physicochemical properties of natural rubber/clay, poly(ethylene-co-vinylacetate)/clay and natural rubber/poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate)/clay nanocomposites. In order to improve the clay and polymer compatibility, the clay was first conv...
