Abstract :In this study, N-hydroxymethyl acrylamide insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( HMAm ); monomer was mixed with Na-Montmorillonite insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Na-MT); in different ratio. The mixture was polymerized in the presence of benzoyl peroxide insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Bz 2 O 2 ); with in-situ radical polymerization to prepare polyinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(N-hydroxymethyl acrylamide); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PHMAm);/Na-Montmorillonite insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Na-MT); composites. Purified Na-MT, and also produced composites with different ratio were characterized with Fourier transform infrared insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FTIR); spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(XRD);, scanning electron microscopy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SEM);, thermal analysis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TGA/DTA); techniques . The moisture retention, water uptake, adsorptive properties of composites was also researched. The XRD pattern demonstrated that Na-MT layers intercalated into the PHMAm matrix. The composites displayed much better thermal stability than the pure polymer.
