Abstract:Abstract.The mechanism of self-assembly induced by H 2 O molecules is studied for layered saponite nanoparticles and zeolite with the cage structure by means of positronium (Ps) annihilation spectroscopy together with thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA). Prior to hydration the saponite exhibits two kinds of open spaces with their sizes of ∼3Å and ∼9Å, whereas open spaces with their sizes of ∼3Å and ∼5Å corresponding to β and α cages are obtained for the zeolite. The occupation of both α… Show more
