This article presents an overview of the preparation and characterization of poly(vinyl chloride)/montmorillonite (PVC/MMT) nanocomposites. Different methods of PVC/MMT nanocomposite preparation are discussed. The incorporation of MMT into the PVC matrix results in an increase of thermal stability and induces changes in the mechanical properties. However, the properties of PVC/MMT nanocomposites depend strongly on the MMT organic modification procedure that governs the extent of MMT penetration by PVC macrochains and plays an important role with regard to the morphology formation. Flammability as well as other properties—barrier, optical, etc.—of PVC/MMT nanomaterials are also described. Finally, a future outlook is given. J. VINYL ADDIT. TECHNOL., 2009.
