Four small molecular compounds which could occur non-covalent interactions with montmorillonite (hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, CTAB, sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS, 4-aminobutyric acid, AA and Octa-quaternary ammonium silsesquioxane, Poss), two small molecular compounds which could occur covalent interactions with montmorillonite (1,3-propanesultone, PS and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, KH550) and three polymer (Polyethylenimine, PEI, poly(acrylamide-co-diallyldimethylammonium chloride), PAADDA and quaternary ammonium polyethylenimine, QPEI) were used to modify montmorillonite. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and laser particle size analyzer were employed to investigate modified montmorillonites. And rheological behaviors of suspensions consisted of modified montmorillonite and styrene and 4-chloromethylstyrene copolymer in N,N′-dimethylacetamide also were studied. The results showed that the silicate layer spacing of all modified montmorillonites have been broadened and the layer spacing of the modified montmorillonite with QPEI was up to 2.41 nm. The stronger the hydrophobicity of montmorillonites modified by small molecular compounds was, the higher the Zeta potential of the corresponding montmorillonite was. The zeta potential of the modified montmorillonite with CTAB increased from -38.5 mV to 31.2 mV. The suspensions containing modified montmorillonites demonstrated a behavior of non-Newtonian fluid and revealed a slight viscosity reduction in the high shear rate region, the viscosity of suspensions containing the modified montmorillonite with QPEI increased about 40%.
