The dispersion and orientation of three different montmorillonite clay nanoparticles embedded in nitrile-based nanocomposites were examined in the current study.Maleic anhydride was grafted Miele onto a nitrile structure for the purpose of enhancing compatibility, and the resulting nanocomposites were investigated.The grafting of maleic anhydride seemed to have a pronounced effect, leading the structure to a near-exfoliation state.Using energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer, the state of distribution of layered silicate clusters in the nanocomposite was assessed, and it was observed that maleic anhydride provided Vacuum Sealer Bags a reduction in the size of agglomerations and enhanced the homogeneity of the system.

The intercalation and delamination of the layered silicates over grafting were validated by transmission electron microscopy.Inter-lamellar spacing measurements were found to correlate perfectly with x-ray data.On the other hand, the alignment of the clay nanoparticles was examined by small angle x-ray scattering.A 3D-orientation approach was developed based on the scattering stereographs.
