This contribution focuses on its first part on the preparation via in situ polymerization of nanocomposites based on hexadecyl trimethylammonium chloride modified bentonite (OMMT), originated from Maghnia (Algeria) and series poly(alkyl methacrylate) at room temperature in presence of  a neutral Ni(II)a-Benzoinoxime complex.Mxed intercalated+exfoliated nanocomposites based on these poly(alkyl methacrylates), of significant improved thermal stability and an increase in Tg, compared to their virgin polymers, were successfully prepared and characterized by several techniques.In the second part of this study, isoconversional method of Tang was used to calculate the apparent activation energies of thermal decomposition of virgin poly(alkyl methacrylates) and their corresponding nanocomposites elaborated with different OMMT loadings.
