Abstract

In this article, P(AN/VAC)/clay nanocomposites were prepared by an in situ polymerization and characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and differential scanning calorimetry. The results show that the P(AN/VAC)/clay exhibit a multilayered structure. The montmorillonite layers are totally exfoliated and distributed uniformly in the P(AN/VAC) matrix. The dimension stability and heat resistance property of P(AN/VAC)/clay are superior to those of P(AN/VAC) alone.
