Montmorillonite Nanoclay is currently under investigation for its use as a drug carrier system
and additive at research level. Being a major fraction of bentonite-a already approved …

The objective of this paper is to give an overview of properties, synthesis and applications,
and to describe the research performed until the present moment. A significant amount of …

The maturation of nanotechnology has revealed it to be a unique and distinct discipline
rather than a specialization within a larger field. Its textbook cannot afford to be a chemistry …

As argilas são materiais muito usados e que atualmente apresentam inúmeras aplicações
devido as interessantes propriedades que apresentam. A modificação superficial de argilas …

To render layered silicates miscible with polymer matrices, one must convert the normally
hydrophilic silicate surface to an organophilic one, making the intercalation of polymeric …

This study focusses on the use of montmorillonite clay (MMT) treated with an organic
compound (aminotrimethylphosphonic acid (ATMP)) and dispersed in an epoxy resin to …

The research goal of the present study was to develop a carrier for loading and controlled-
release of the hydrophobic drug with the combined use of organo-montmorillonite (OMMT) …

Sodium Montmorillonite (NaMMT) has been modified via cation exchange reaction using
three different organic cations. Basal spacings, interlamellar structure and thermal stability of …

In the present study, the adsorption capacities of two intercalated smectites, CTAB-saponite
and CTAB-montmorillonite with a cationic surfactant, were investigated with three …

The organic modification of Na-montmorillonite (Na-MMT) clay by a reaction with the sodium
salts of octadecanoic acid (SOD) and dodecanoic acid (SDD) was studied for the production …
