Abstract: The preparation of polymer/montmorillonite intercalation composite materials has been studied by applying two kinds of photo-polymerization reaction (photo-acid generation and photo radical generation)in this work.Small angle X-ray diffraction technique was used for the structural characterization of montmorillonite contained in the products.Results indicated that after surface modification of montmorillonite the monomer(methyl methacrylate,MMA)and the prepolymer (m cresol/HMMM) were able to intercalate into the layers of the clay and to polymerize/in “situ” to obtain photo-polymerized composite materials.The advantages and the demerits of the method of photo-polymerization for preparation of these composite materials have been discussed preliminaryly.

Key words: photo-polymerization, montmorillonite, intercalation, small angle X-ray diffraction technique, nano composite materials
