Polymer/clay nanocomposites are important class of materials due to the synergetic effect of combining organic and inorganic materials to improve on the properties of the former. Many polymer systems have been used as host matrix for these nanocomposites. Recently, benzoxazine based polymers have attracted researchers because of their enhanced properties to their neat polymers. In this study, we report the synthesis of polymer/clay nanocomposites by using main-chain benzoxazine polymer containing polyetherdiamine. The effect of clay loading on the mechanical and thermal properties of these nancomposites will be discussed.
