In this thesis, fibrous nano clay embedded and anionically-modified semi-interpenetrating (semi-IPN) gels were designed as new promising materials. The study mainly focuses on the investigation of the effect of a fibrous nanofiller-type clay sepiolite (SEP), anionic comonomer sodium acrylate (NaA), and linear polymer polyethylene glycol-2000 (PEG) on the final properties of semi-IPN poly(acrylamide-co-sodium acrylate)/PEG-SEP nanocomposite gels.
