An examination is made of the effect of modifying montmorillonite with organic compounds and its ultrasound treatment on the rheological properties of filled epoxy oligomers and the structure and physicomechanical properties of cured composites. To improve the physicomechanical properties of filled epoxy composites, it is recommended that use be made of modified montmorillonite of grade Cloisite 30B, which has the best compatibility with the epoxy matrix.
