Abstract: The in suit intercalated polymerization of vinyl acetate(VAc)-montmorillonite(MMT) was initiated via γ-ray irradiation and PVAc-MMT composite was obtained. PVAc was also prepared by the same way. X-ray diffraction(XRD) results show that the PVAc-MMT composite is a kind of nanocomposite, and transmission electron microscopy(TEM) observation gives the same result directly. Ternary blend composed of PVAc-MMT/HDPE/PA6(PMHP) was prepared by melt-mixing way, and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) testing result reveals that the PVAc-MMT nanocomposite dispersed in the PMHP for a kind of capsule particles. Thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) results show that the thermal stability of PMHP is much greater than that of PVAc/HDPE/PA6(PHP) blend because of the phase structure change of PMHP and the existence of PVAc-MMT nanocomposite in that of the ternary blend of PMHP, for the same reason the mechanical properties of PMHP is better than HDPE and PHP blend.
