Resumen:
In this paper was studied the preparation of nanocomposite polyvinylalcohol (PVA) /organophilic montmorillonite (MMTHDTMA), 5 wt %, obtained by two methods: the first in situ polymerization and the second mixed by solution (casting). The polymerization in situ was carried out by the addition of organophilic clay in the monomer (vinyl acetate, VA), using benzoyl peroxide as initiator.  Poly (vinyl acetate)/MMTHDTMA were obtained and then an alcoholysis in an alkaline medium was made, to finally obtain the composite of PVA/MMTHDTMA (In situ polimerization). In the method of mixing in solution (casting) organophilic clay dissolved in water. PVA was added to the dispersion of clay in water to 90°C and were obtained PVA/MMTHDTMA films by casting. The composites were characterized by XRD and FTIR. The thermal properties were evaluated by TGA and DSC.
