description

In this work was proposed a simple model to predict the viscosity and the power law index from the interlayer distance and, vice versa, the interlayer distance from a single flow curve for intercalated polymer nanocomposites. This model cannot be applied to exfoliated nanocomposites or when other interactions are present in the systems.
