Bottcher and coworkers were the first to report the preparation of polymer clay nanocomposites by ATRP [20]. ATRP initiator-modified layered silicate was prepared by ion exchange between clay and l,T-(N,N,N-trimethylammonium bromide)undecanyl-2-bromoisobutyrate in-situ ATRP was carried out to grow polymer chains from the clay surface. In-situ ATRP between individual silicate layers leads to the direct synthesis of dispersed silicate nanocomposites. Their kinetics study and molecular weight analysis demonstrated that the polymerization followed the ATRP mechanism.
