Polymer/clay nanocomposites have been under an extensive investigation for about 15 years. Traditional methods to modify the clay are usually limited to small organic cations, preferably containing long alkyl chain(s), which are exchanged with the inorganic cations in the clay gallery. This article provides a comprehensive review on the strategies for clay modification using polymeric surfactants or polycations: from the synthesis of such surfactants, through the preparation of the polymerically modified clays, and to the fabrication of the respective polymer nanocomposites and their properties.

Investigating the influence of process parameters is vital to improve the mechanical properties of nanoparticle reinforced polymer nanocomposites. In this effort, nanocomposites of polypropylene/nanoclay are prepared by the extrusion method. In order to characterize the mechanical behavior of nanocomposites over different compounding ratios, samples are prepared with 5 and 10 wt%. Effect of re-extrusion and PP-g-MA compatibilizer on the tensile performance of nanocomposites is evaluated at different strain rates. XRD evaluation of compounds indicated that re-extrusion is an important factor in increasing the exfoliation degree.

The glass transition temperature (Tg) of Fluoro-Poly(ether-imide) and Fluoro-Poly(either-Imide)/MMY clay Nanocomposites has been investigated by both experiments and Monte Carlo Simulation. It was observed that the (Tg) values of the nanocomposites increases with increase in clay contents.
