Attapulgite/polystyrene (ATP/PS) nanocomposites with different contents of attapulgite nano‐needles organo‐modified, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) were successfully prepared by the in situ bulk radical polymerization of styrene, under microwave irradiation. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results showed good dispersibility of the organo‐modified attapulgite nano‐needles in the polystyrene matrices. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that the thermal stability of the nanocomposite was enhanced with the increase of additional attapulgite nano‐needles.
