Concerning the nanocomposites based on DP6, KP5, and 603, the Young's moduli are slightly improved probably due to the cationic character of the water suspensions.
Young's moduli in longitudinal and transverse directions of the film are in a range of about 3500 to about 10,000 MPa, respectively, and the ratio of both Young's moduli (longitudinal/transverse) is in a range of about 1.
