Clay organifier with hydroxyl end-group and relatively high molecular weight was synthesized. The clay treated with the organifier was suspended in DMF and the dispersibility of organoclay in polyurethane matrix was enhanced by applying the sonication to the suspension of organoclay in DMF. The d-spacing of organoclay was found to be 2.29 nm compared to 1. 18 nm of pristine montmorillonite. The polyurethane/clay nanocomposites formed an intercalated structure with some disorder and their d-spacings were about 2.6-2.7 nm. The barrier property, thermal stability and tensile properties significantly increased with increasing the dispersibility of organoclay. A 2.9-fold increase in tensile strength with 1 wt% of well-dispersed organoclay, a 41% decrease in oxygen permeability and a 1.7-fold increase in Young's modulus at 5 wt% of well-dispersed organoclay were achieved.
