Notes:
In this work, polyethylene/montmorillonite clay nanocomposites wereproduced by melt intercalation. The clays were treated with quaternary ammonium saltsand then treated and untreated clays were introduced in polyethylene. The clays werecharacterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform InfraredSpectroscopy (FT-IR). The nanocomposites were characterized by mechanical andflammability properties. The results showed that the mechanical properties wereimproved by introduction of organoclay in polyethylene matrix. By adding only 3wt%montmorillonite, the burning rate of the nanocomposites was reduced by 17% inrelation to PE matrix
