A composition which includes polymethylmethacrylate and an organoclay functionalized with an intercalation agent, wherein said intercalation agent is a reaction product of a polyamine and an alkyl halide in a polar solvent, preferably a di-methyl, di-tallow ammonium functionalized montmorillonite clay.

Flame retardant and UV absorptive polymethylmethacrylate nanocomposites

A composition which includes polymethylmethacrylate and an organoclay functionalized with intercalation agent, wherein said intercalation agent is a reaction product of a polyamine and an alkyl halide in a polar solvent, preferably a dimethyl, ditallow ammonium functionalized monmorillonite clay as shown in (FIG.).

Flame retardant and UV Absorptive polymethylmethacrylate nanocomposites

The present invention is polymer blend, which includes at least two immiscible polymers, and a compatibilizer used to produce a substantially homogeneous blend. The compatibilizer is a functionalized nanocomposite which prevents segregation of the polymer components in the polymer blend. The nanocomposites are formed by combining an organoclay and an intercalation agent. The intercalation agent is a reaction product of a polyamine functionalized with an alkyl halide in a polar solvent. The compatibilized blends are used in thin films, which are especially useful in microlithographic applications and as lubricants in low tolerance magnetic disks.
