Dialkyl imidazolium salt with better thermal stability than the commonly used dimethyldioctadecyl ammonium salt was synthesized and ion exchanged on the montmorillonite surface. Polypropylene nanocomposites with different volume fractions of the obtained organo-montmorillonite (OMMT) were prepared and the effect of the modified clay on the gas barrier and mechanical properties was studied. Wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to investigate the microstructure obtained. Thermal behavior of the composites analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis was observed to enhance significantly with the filler volume fraction. The gas permeation through the nanocomposite films markedly decreased with augmenting the filler volume fraction. The decrease in the gas permeation was even more significant than through the composites with ammonium treated montmorillonite. Better thermal behavior of the organic modification owing to the delayed onset of degradation hindered the interface degradation along with detrimental side reactions with polymer itself. Transmission electron microscopic studies indicated the presence of mixed morphology i.e; single layers and the tactoids of varying thicknesses in the composites. The crystallization behavior of polypropylene remained unaffected with OMMT addition. A linear increase in the tensile modulus was observed with filler volume fraction owing to partial exfoliation of the clay. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved;
