There is a growing demand on advanced materials bearing certain enhanced physical, chemical or mechanical properties. Especially for polymeric materials it is a well known fact that by
adding nanoparticles one can significantly change and enhance
the properties of plastics [1–4]. When processing such composites
one very often has to face the difficulties of preventing the nanoparticles from agglomeration or even worse from aggregation [5–
8]. One possible process path to create a highly disperse composite
is to bring the particles and the matrix polymer together in a solvent which is adequate for both systems guaranteeing nanoparticle
stability as well as polymer solubility with subsequent drying
[6,9,10]. Such a low viscosity system compared to a polymer melt
is thought to be profitable for a thorough mechanical mixing and
achieving a well dispersed state by mechanical dispersing tools
[11–13].
