Poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)/(OMMT) nanocomposites was prepared by g-ray irradiation polymerization. The dispersion degree and the intercalation spacing of these nanocomposites were investigated with the X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, respectively. The thermal stabilities of the samples were studied by the thermal gravimetric analysis. The nanocomposites had higher storage modulus and higher glass transition temperature ( Tg) than the pure PMMA, which were measured by dynamic mechanical analysis. r 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.
