Abstract
Summary: An original direct melt extrusion processing of nylon 6/clay nanocomposites was reported based on pristine (Na^+^‐based) montmorillonite as well as a simple approach using a typical two‐screw extruder. By the application of intercalation agents as the thermodynamic assistants, this method is as an appropriate procedure for industrialized manufacture together with much lowered production cost. Interestingly enough, the synergistic effects of montmorillonite with other inorganic particulates was observed for the first time here.

## Abstract **Summary:** Exfoliated Na^+^‐MMT/polyamide‐6 and intercalated organic MMT/polyamide‐6 nanocomposites were prepared using sodium montmorillonite with water dispersion and organic MMT with acetone dispersion via anionic ring‐opening polymerization, respectively. The effects of Na^+^‐MMT
