Some materials formed by an organic phase dispersed in an inorganic phase present new properties that are not limited to the sum of the properties of their separated components, but are the result of the synergism between the phases at molecular level. These materials are known as organic-inorganic hybrids and has received broad scientific attention in recent decades because of its multifunctional nature. As a part of the study of these materials, the surface modification of clay minerals has become lately an important way to improve or create new properties in hybrid materials. The grafting method, for example, consists in the surface reaction between the silanol groups and the reactive groups of the organic compounds (chloride, alkoxide or hydride) which has the function of bind to the inorganic surface and make it compatible with the organic phase, usually a polymer. These organic compounds are referred as coupling agents, since they have the function of coupling to the organic phase with the inorganic one. Thus, the focus of this work was based on nanocomposites organic-inorganic hybrid material obtaining using the grafting method where the inorganic phase is composed by the sodic montmorillonite clay and the organophilizated clay Cloisite® 10A and the organic by poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The first step of the nanocomposites obtaining was the separation of a fraction of clay particles of uniform size by centrifugation in various aqueous solutions clay; thereby, the distribution of particle diameter was seen through light scattering technique. This stage of the work was intended that the material had more homogeneity at nanoscopic level. This pre-treated clay was functionalized by covalent bonds with molecules of the coupling agent (trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate (TMSM) in their hydroxyl groups. After this procedure, PMMA was added to this medium to obtain the polymer-clay...
