Abstract
The dependence of the compatibility of a modified montmorillonite with different-polarity polymers on the structure of a modifier layer formed on the montmorillonite surface has been investigated. It is shown that the layers forming an ordered structure in the interplane spaces of the clay do not provide an exfoliation of the silicate plates of the clay or a significant intercalation of polymer chains into the interlayer space of the montmorillonite. An optimum structure of a modifier layer, providing a significant intercalation of polymer chains into the interlayer spaces of the montmorillonite and an exfoliation of the clay in its compounds with a maleinized polypropylene, obtained by mixing in a melt, has been determined.
