Abstract
The preparation of polymer/montmorillonite intercalation composite materials was studied by two kinds of photo‐polymerization reaction (photo‐acid generation and photo‐radical generation). Small‐angle X‐ray diffraction was used for the structural characterization of montmorillonite contained in the products. Results indicated that, after chemical modification of montmorillonite, the monomer (methyl methacrylate) and the prepolymer (m‐cresol/HMMM) were able to intercalate into the layers of clay and to polymerize ‘in situ’, thus producing photo‐polymerized composite materials. The advantages and shortcomings of the method of photo‐polymerization for the preparation of these composite materials are discussed.

It was previously reported that excellent mar resistance coating systems could be obtained by the combination of silicone compounds and vinyl compounds, such as KBM 403-GMA systems. Radiation-induced polymerization was the most efficient means of prepolymerization to give the viscosity suitable for
