## Abstract Polypropylene (PP)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were prepared by compounding maleic anhydrideβ__g__βpolypropylene (MAPP) with MMT modified with Ξ±,Οβdiaminododecane. Structural characterization confirmed the formation of characteristic amide linkages and the intercalation of MAPP

## SYNOPSIS Isotactic polypropylene was grafted with maleic anhydride using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator and toluene as a solvent. Effects of various parameters such as monomer and initiator concentration, reaction time, and reaction temperature on percentage grafting were studied. Effect of v
Polypropylene-clay hybrids (PPCH) were prepared using a maleic anhydride-modified PP oligomer (PP-MA) as a compatibilizer. PP was melt-blended with organophilic clay which was intercalated with PP-MA. In these PPCHs, the particles of silicate layers were dispersed at the nanometer level. The particl
