This invention relates to a a one-step process for making a polymer composite suspension for coating plastic films characterized in that a first polymer is synthesized in-situ optionally in the presence of other polymers and in the presence of clay. Preferably the polymer composite suspension comprises a) 1.0 to 11.0 wt % of clay or silane modified clay, b) 0.1 to 10.0 wt % of poly (acrylic acid), which is a copolymer of acrylic acid (AA) with at least one other monomer selected from 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA), -carboxyethyl acrylate (-CEA), methacrylamidoethyl ethylene urea (WAM II) and ethoxylated behenyl methacrylate (-EM), c) 1.0 to 15.0 wt % of other polymers, preferably poly (vinyl alcohol) and d) 70 to 97 wt % of water or mixture of water with 2-propanol. The coating films made from the suspensions show good barrier capabilities against water vapor and oxygen can be used to make barrier layers on or within plastic films for packaging applications. The invention also relates to methods for making silane modified clay usable in the process for making the suspensions.

Disclosed are a core-shell structure membrane scale inhibitor and a preparation method therefor, wherein the core-shell structure membrane scale inhibitor has a core emulsion obtained via emulsion polymerization, and a shell structure obtained via ultraviolet-light grafting functional monomers. The preparation method has first preparing a core by using an emulsion polymerization process, adding a reactive photo-initiator in the later stage of polymerization, so that the reactive photo-initiator is grafted on the surface of the core, and finally initiating the polymerization of functional monomers by means of ultraviolet light to obtain a core-shell structure membrane scale inhibitor. The surface structure of the core is modified, such that a large number of ionizable groups are grafted on the surface thereof, and thus, a large number of scaling ions such as Ca2+, Mg2+ and Al3+ can be adsorbed.
