heal.abstract	Nanocomposite blends, based on condensation type polysiloxane rubber, reinforced with organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) nanoparticles, were prepared via the sonication process. Two grades of commercial montmorillonite, namely Cloisite 30B and Cloisite 20A, with different types of organic modification were studied. A significant improvement of mechanical properties of the pure polysiloxane was observed by the incorporation of the examined types of clay reinforcements. Comparison between the experimental and theoretical values of elastic modulus was performed by the use of micromechanical simulation models, such as the Halpin-Tsai model, that interrelates Young's modulus with clay structure in the nanocomposite.	en
