Nanocomposites of poly(hexamethylene terephthalate) (PHT) and montmorillonite organo-modified with alkylammonium cations bearing two primary hydroxyl functions, i.e., Cloisite (R) 30B (CL30B) were synthesized. Organoclay incorporation was performed either by dispersion in the PHT matrix via melt blending or by in situ ring-opening polymerization of hexamethylene terephthalate cyclic oligomers c(HT). An additional procedure combining the two methods, preparation of a highly enriched inorganic PHT-CL30B nanohybrid masterbatch by in situ ring-opening polymerization and blending of the masterbatch with additional PHT was explored. The obtained nanocomposites contain 3% (w/w) of inorganics and displayed a mixture of intercalated morphology and exfoliated nanolayers as evidenced by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The nanocomposite obtained by the masterbatch technique exhibited a higher degree of exfoliation and displayed slightly higher glass transition temperatures, better mechanical properties and higher flame resistance. The improved results achieved with the masterbatch route are a consequence of the reactions occurring between the nanocomposite constituents allowing for the grafting of PHT chains onto the organoclay surface.
