“…The first is relied to environmental issue, where many authors suggested the use of organoclays as geochemical layers for the capture of hydrophobic pollutants which usually pass through the natural clay barrier implemented against pollution, or as sorbent materials for water remediation. Other applications are the use of organoclays as basis for the implementation of polymer layered nanocomposites, where nanocomposite properties such as biodegradability, impermeability, and heat resistance are highly improved 7,10 . Several authors have recently raised the interest to synthesize organoclays by the use of other surfactants 1,[11][12][13] .…”
