ABSTRACT
A method to synthesize completely delaminated polymer/lamellar aluminophosphate (Mu-4) nanocomposites has been successfully developed, wherein organo-modification of Mu-4 followed by in situ polymerization was applied. It can be found that the long chain n-dodecylamine molecules can favor the intercalation of Mu-4 and thus readily make the Mu-4 layers delaminated in the polymer matrix compared with the short chain N,N-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine.
