The relationship between nanostructure and properties in polysiloxane layered silicate nanocomposites is presented. Solvent uptake (swelling) in dispersed nanocomposites was dramatically decreased as compared to conventional composites, though intercalated nanocomposites and immiscible hybrids exhib

Abstract
Summary: Organically modified montmorillonites (OMs), carrying alkyl chains, phenyl groups, or a combination of both, were prepared and compounded with polyethylene. The oxygen permeability coefficients and tensile properties of the nanocomposites were correlated to the exfoliation of the OMs. Partial exfoliation was achieved, although no intercalation was observed. Aromatic moieties attached to the clay surface led to a stronger interaction between the OM layers and less exfoliation.

Polymer nanocomposites, especially polymerlayered silicate (PLS) nanocomposites, represent a radical alternative to conventionally (macroscopically) filled polymers. Because of their nanometer-size dispersion, the nanocomposites exhibit markedly improved properties when compared with the pure polyme
