in the blend that are not compatible with each other when the organoclay is present in a blend of two or more immiscible polymers the domains are reduced creating a more homogenous blend the balance of the bending energy of the clay particle with the reduction of interfacial tension occurs according to the formula where f bending force absorbed interstitial energy r radius distance of bend from fulcrum point to distance traveled by crystal in bending n number of exfoliated clay platelets m non exfoliated platelets or tactoids sigma interstitial energy e flexular modulus h planks constant gamma interstitial energy of polymer a before an organoclay is added gamma prime interstitial energy of polymer after an organoclay is added when u03b3 larger then the blend is more immiscible when r is smaller there is more efficient compatiblization when the glass transition temperature is measured of such blends of the present invention separate multiple peaks for each polymer in the blend are not present and there is typically a single peak the preferred organoclay used in the present invention is made from a natural or synthetic clay preferably a smectite clay suitable smectite clays include but are not limited to hectorite montmorillonite bentonite beidelite saponite stevensite and mixtures thereof the organoclay is preferably treated with a quaternary amine as is known in the art the quaternary amine may have one or more functional groups examples of the functional groups include but are not limited.
