The molecular chain length of alkylamonium has a pronounced effect on clay surface polarity, and hence affects the interaction between the polymer matrix and organoclay reinforcement. In order to achieve intercalative or exfoliative dispersion in polymer nanocomposite preparation, surface treatments...
