Excellent properties of organic polymer/clay minelal hybrids, such as mechanical property, gas barrier effect and anti-flamability, have attracted many attentions. This paper reviewed the preparation of the hybrid materials and their properties, from view points of a driving force for swelling, structure in nanometer scale and organic-inorganic interactions. The swelling, exfoliate and dispersing behaviour were understand by an balance of an interlayer attractive forces to the interaction between guest molecule and host layers, polymerization energy and mechanical energy. The properties of the composites are attributable to the hybrid structure around the silicate layers within the nanometer distance. A weak hydrophobic interaction in nanometer scale should be studied to develop the nano-hybrid materials.
