## Abstract Polypropylene (PP)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were prepared by compounding maleic anhydride‐__g__‐polypropylene (MAPP) with MMT modified with α,ω‐diaminododecane. Structural characterization confirmed the formation of characteristic amide linkages and the intercalation of MAPP
The effects of clay dispersion and the interactions between clays and polymer chains on the viscoelastic properties of polymer/clay nanocomposites are investigated using oscillatory shear rheology, X-ray diffraction (XRD), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and transmission electron microscopy (TE
