**Abstract**
 Using methylphenyl dichlorosilane, methyl trichlorosilane cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as organic treatment agent, phenylmethylsilicone/organic montmorillonite (OMMT) nanocomposites were prepared by in-situ intercalative polymerisation. The internal structure and morphology of the nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Mechanical properties, high temperature resistance and barrier performance for gas and water were also studied. The results show that molecules of silicone chains insert into the layer of montmorillonite (MMT), and the interlayer distance of MMT is expanded effectively after polymerisation of phenylmethylsilicone prepolymer and methyl methacrylate, even forming exfoliated nanocomposites. 12 Refs.
