Metallocene polyethylene-octene elastomer (mPE)/clay nanocomposites are obtained and studied by using mPE-g-silane as a compatibilizer. Metallocene polyethylene was grafted with vinyl triethoxy silane first and then followed by the mixing of which with mPE and clay. The crosslinking reaction was conducted at 70℃ in the presence of water. Through tensile test, Young's modulus was increased with increasing clay content. This was attributed to the high surface area between the mPE and the clay.
