Image Number 3 for United States Patent #5973053.
A composite clay material with the interlayer distance sufficiently expanded by dispersing clay mineral in a low polar polymer on a molecular level and the method for producing the same, blend material and composite clay rubber material using the same and the production method thereof.The composite clay material is formed of a clay mineral rendered compatible with an organic material through ionic bonding to an organic onium ion having 6 or more carbon number and a main guest molecule having a polar group in its main chain and side chain and molecular length equal to or larger than that of said organic onium ion. The main guest molecule is incorporated at least partially into an interlayer section of the clay mineral which has a hydrogen bonding with the polar group of the main guest molecule. The main guest molecule preferably has a molecular weight ranging from about 100 to 100000. Alternatively a first guest molecule having a polar group and molecular length equal to or smaller than that of the organic onium ion and a second guest molecule having no polar group therein and molecular length larger than that of the organic onium ion are incorporated into the interlayer section of the clay mineral instead of the main guest molecule. The above obtained clay composite material may be mixed with the rubber material.
