  ABSTRACT: Clays attract attention as a nano size material to reinforce the polymers and resins. In this study, montmorillonite clay was modified using industrial solvents that are used in the paint industry. It was shown that the water contact angle could be varied from 20? to 140? which is a real influence for the clay mineral. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that planar basal space could be altered significantly from 12.57 to 15.40 nm showing 22.5% increase in the interlayer spacing and that is really critical for many polymers and coating applications. This study will highlight many new clay nanocomposites and the formation of various clay nanocomposites.
