A method of preparing stable waterborne polyurethane nanocomposite with a long shelf-life time is described. The stability of the nanocomposite is achieved by effective mechanical and sonication mixing of diisocynate and clay. Also, the stability is achieved through optimization of the amount of clay and carboxylic acid with hydroxyl functionality.

Curable compositions are prepared using polyisocyanates, hydrophobic hydroxyl-terminated polymers (such as hydroxyl-terminated polyfarnesenes and hydroxyl-terminated polydienes) and organically-modified nanoclays, optionally in combination with chain extenders and/or urethane catalysts. When cured, the compositions yield polyurethane-based sealants useful in insulating glass units which have improved (lowered) moisture vapor transmission rate values as a consequence of the inclusion of the organically-modified nanoclays.

The polyamide resin composition of the present invention comprises: about 15 to about 49 wt % of an aromatic polyamide resin containing a repeating unit represented by chemical formula 1 and a repeating unit represented by chemical formula 2; about 1 to about 30 wt % of a polyamide resin having a glass transition temperature of about 40 to about 120? C.; about 1 to about 20 wt % of an olefin-based copolymer; about 5 to about 40 wt % of calcium carbonate; and about 5 to about 40 wt % of talc. The polyamide resin composition and the molded product formed therefrom are excellent in plating adhesion, impact resistance, stiffness, heat resistance, flowability, appearance characteristics, and the like.
