Urea-formaldehyde resin (F/U ratio of 0.8)/thermally activated montmorillonite (UF/Delta TK10) nanocomposite was synthesized. The hydrolytical, thermal, and UV radiation stability of UF/Delta TK10 nanocomposites are determined. UF hybrid nanocomposites have been irradiated with UV light with a wavelength of 254 nm and 366 nm, and after that, their radiation stability was evaluated. The free formaldehyde (FA) percentage in all prepared samples was determined. The sample was characterized by using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), nonisothermal thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and differential thermal gravimetry (DTG), with infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Crosslinked UF/Delta TK10 nanocomposite shows the highest resistance to acid hydrolysis after UV irradiation at a wavelength of 254 nm. The values for T-5% are identical for the unirradiated and UV irradiated (wavelength of 366 nm) UF/Delta TK10 nanocomposite. It can be concluded that this sample is thermally most stable and shows good resistance to UV irradiation.
