Nanoplatelets can be modified by cationic exchange in order to obtain organophilic clays. Usually this procedure decreases thermodynamic barriers when the modified clays interact with polymers allowing intercalation and/or exfoliation. But sometimes this is not enough when polyolefins are involved. Cationic exchange was performed on MNa to replace Na+ ions by (CH3)3N+((CH2)15CH3) ions to obtain organophilic clay (MH). Then it was proposed a surface modification of organoclays by the incorporation of PDMS. This polymer has non polar nature so it could help compatibilize fillers with a polymeric matrix of similar features. PDMS can be obtained by hydrolysis of the corresponding silane or by ring opening of cyclic oligomers. In this work three materials were synthesized from MH: a) MH_PDMS (T4) was obtained introducing cyclic tetramers into MH by sonication; b) MH_PDMS (i) was prepared putting in direct contact (CH3)2SiCl2 and MH. Then PDMS was synthesized in situ by hydrolysis; c) MH_PDMS(s) was obtained using an organic solvent to mix MH and (CH3)2SiCl2. First the solvent was eliminated and then the PDMS was synthesized in situ by hydrolysis. SEM microphotographs exhibit different morphologies for each material. FTIR spectra show the presence of characteristic chemical groups. Nanostructural changes were observed from XRD. TGA and DTG show different behaviors for PDMS modified materials depending on the procedure of modification that was employed. For MH_PDMS (i) and MH_PDMS (s) similar behaviors were observed while PDMS(T4) presents weight losses at lower temperatures and several picks of degradation on DTG curves. The behavior of MH_PDMS (T4) points out the presences of species that do not appear in the other two modified clays. These results allow concluding that different routes of PDMS introduction into clay galleries affect the final behavior of the obtained materials.
