Synthesis of Exfoliated MEH-PPV/Clay Nanocomposites

The synthesis of poly(2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethyl-hexyloxy)-l,4-phenylenevinylene) (MEHPPV) in the presence of organophilic montmorillonite (OMMT) was reported and the exfoliated MEH-PPV/OMMT nanocomposites was obtained by controlling the ratio of the monomer to the OMMT.
