A facile and easily industrialized approach for preparing highly dispersed MMT/polymer nanocomposites is developed by combining the latex compounding method and a spray‐drying process. Clay particles are successfully delaminated into layers, and layer re‐stacking is effectively prevented. HR‐TEM and XRD results confirm that MMT layers achieve exfoliated or nearly exfoliated dispersion in both MMT/styrene‐butadiene rubber and MMT/PS nanocomposites. Compared with melt‐blended MMT/SBR composites, MMT/SBR nanocomposites prepared by this new strategy exhibit extremely high dynamic modulus. magnified image
