The processes of the combustion are studied for the number of a polymeric nanocomposites based on the layered silicates such as ttylon-6.6 with 5 wt% of Cloisite 15A - montmorillonite being modified with the dimethyldialkylammonium (alkyls studied CIS, C16, C14), maleinated polypropylene and polyethylene, both (1.5%) with 10 wt% Cloisite 15 A. The general trend is two times reduction of the speed of the heat release. The decrease in the period of the flame induction is repotted for all nanocomposites in comparison with the initial polymers [54].
