Abstract

AbstractOrganophilic montmorillonite was prepared using ion‐exchange method between sodium ions in clay layers and four kind of quaternary ammonium salt. The montmorillonite has the largest d001‐spacing, as determined by X‐ray diffraction in modified by di(hydrogenated tallowalkyl) dimethyl ammonium chloride. Polystyrene montmorillonite nanocomposites were obtained by suspension and emulsion polymerization of styrene in the dispersed organophilic montmorillonite. The d001‐spacing of clay was determined by X‐ray diffraction (XRD). The thermal stability of organophilic montmorillonite was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). POLYM.
