Abstract::
Layered silicates (nanoclay) are new types of nanomaterials derived from clay minerals with wide range application in different fields such as catalysts, soil industry and etc. Nanoclays are wide ranges of naturally occurring inorganic minerals with different derivatives. Montmorillonite is a well-known nanoclay consisting of 2:1 layered structure with two-silica tetrahedron sandwiching an alumina octahedron. In nature, nanoclays can be found in both crystalline (phyllosilicates) and non-crystalline (imogoli… Show more
