| Abstract: | Several dendrimer–clay nanocomposites have been prepared. Firstly, the dendrimer (DE1)/clay nanocomposite was obtained via an in situ free radical polymerization of a double bond‐ended dendrimer (DE1), derived from Behera's amine by using 2,2′‐azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), as initiator, and Cloisite 30 B, as nanofiller. Further free radical in situ copolymerization processes were conducted between DE1, methyl methacrylate (MMA), and styrene (St). Two other dendrimer/clay nanocomposites were prepared by the reaction of second generation (G2)–36‐acid dendrimer (DE2) and N,N′,N′,N′‐tetrakis[2‐hydroxy‐1,1‐bis(hydroxylmethyl) ethyl]‐α,α,ω,ω‐alkane‐tetracarboxamide [6]‐10‐[6] Arborols (DE3) with montmorillonite clay (MMT).
