Summary: Evidence of clay migration from the core to the surface of poly(propylene)/montmorillonite nanocomposites is provided. A three‐ to fivefold increase in the clay concentration of the surface is obtained during isothermal heating in oxidative atmosphere. The mechanism of migration is investigated by means of attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectrometry. It is shown that oxygen plays a fundamental role in the migration mechanism. ρSi versus c for the annealed samples. magnified image ρSi versus c for the annealed samples.
