Montmorillonite (MMT), natural (AN) and purified (AP) bentonite clays modified with alkyl ammonium (A), alkyl phosphonium (F) and a mixture of both (A and F) salts were incorporated (1% w/w) into PET by melt blending. The hybrids thus obtained were characterized by XRD, TG, DSC and TEM. Nanocomposites having intercalated ordered structures and intercalated disordered/exfoliated structures were obtained with the clays modified with the ammonium and the mixture of ammonium and phosphonium salts, respectively. A nanocomposite was not obtained with the addition of 1% w/w of an alkyl phosphonium modified clay into PET. The organoclays ANOA, APOF and MMTOF, when added to PET not only led to an increase in its thermal stability but also acted as heterogeneous nucleating agents, increasing its crystallization temperature. This result is industrially significant as the low crystallization rate of PET makes its use difficult in preparing injected goods. Besides, as the behaviour of the bentonite clays supplied by a local industry was similar to that of the imported montmorillonite, the use of this raw material of lower cost, modified with national technology, can be an attractive technology for injection molded PET applications, where cost is of utmost importance.
