Celullose acetate butyrate/organo-montmorillonite (CAB/OMMT) nanocomposites were prepared using solution casting method with acetone as a solvent. All samples obtained were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy  (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).  Various amounts of organoclay were used for nanocomposites preparation in order to investigate the effect of nanofiller amount on the mechanical properties of the samples. The results revealed that CAB/OMMT nanocomposites showed the intercalation of polymer inside the layered silicate structure. The addition of organoclay improved mechanical properties of CAB/OMMT nanocomposites in comparison with unfilled polymer.
