Polyamide layer silicate compounds

摘要

Clay material comprises 30 wt.% of at least a layered silicate treated with water soluble polyamide, -copolyamide and/or -blockcopolyamide. Independent claims are included for: (1) producing the clay material comprising mixing aqueous solution of water soluble polyamide, -copolyamide and/or -blockcopolyamide, with an aqueous dispersion of layered silicate, and separating water after a retention time; and (2) a thermoplastic molded mass comprising a dispersed clay material in a water insoluble thermoplastic matrix phase.
