Abstract
A composite material comprising a resin other than polyamide resin and a layered silicate dispersed therein, said layered silicate having a layer thickness of 7 to 12 .ANG. and an interlayer distance of 30 .ANG. or above. Owing to the layered silicate uniformly dispersed in the resin matrix, the composite material is superior in mechanical characteristics and heat resistance. It also has good water resistance and chemical resistance.

A composite material, which comprises:
- (a) at least one resin selected from the group consisting of a vinyl-based polymeric compound, a thermosetting resin and a rubber, and
- (b) a layered silicate uniformly dispersed in said resin, said layered silicate having a layer thickness of about 7 to 12 .ANG. and an interlayer distance of at least about 30 .ANG., wherein said at least one resin is connected to said layered silicate through an intermediate therebetween.
A composite material, which comprises:
- (a) at least one resin selected from the group consisting of a vinyl-based polymeric compound and a thermosetting resin, and
- (b) a layered silicate uniformly dispersed in said resin, wherein said layered silicate has a layer thickness of about 7 to 12 .ANG. and an interlayer distance of at least about 30 .ANG., and wherein said at least one resin is connected to said layered silicate through the side chains of said resin.
A composite material, which comprises:
- (a) solid rubber, and
- (b) a layered silicate uniformly dispersed in said resin, wherein said layered silicate has a layer thickness of about 7 to 12 .ANG., and an interlayer distance of at least about 30 .ANG., and wherein said solid rubber is connected with said layered silicate through a liquid rubber dissolved in said sloid rubber.
