Please forgive me for without any introduction, I will try to make it short.
I am understand that nanoclays can be classified as T:O (tetrahedral: octahedral ) or T:OT layer stacking .
I also know there are interlayers with none/water/ hydrated or non - hydrated exchangeable cations. Besides, It also can be grouping as nano fibrous or nano-tube or nano plate/disc structures.
However, which type of grouping is affecting the composite's mechanical properties the most?
What i found is like MMT has higher hydroxyl groups than halloysite nanoclay, hence forms better interaction with polymer.
On the other hand, i also found that MMT which in disc structure has better area to interact with polymers.
So i am confused, so if i wish to explain the types of nanoclays on the composite strength.
I need to look on structure or type of elements between interlayer or layer charges
thank you for everyone effects, highly appreciates it.
and sorry for my broken English sentences.

It is a very complex phenomenon. You should more concentrate on the following issues; "particle size and geometry", "polarity and interfacial interactions of/between components".
The plasticity of clay materials depends on their mineral composition, dispersion, particle shape and some other indicators. For example, the plasticity of montmorillonite clays is higher than that of kaolinite ones. It has been established that with increasing dispersion of clay materials their plastic properties increase; Particularly strongly affect the plasticity of clay content of particles less than 0.5 microns. An increase in the amount of sand in clay contributes to a decrease in their plasticity.
