The first part of the book focuses on the characterization of nanoclays, including layered, fibrous and tubular clay minerals. The second part illustrates the current and potential applications of nanoclays within material science and biotechnology. These include the development of geopolymers and bionanocomposites based on sustainable polymers filled with ecocompatible nanoclay. The potential use of nanoclays as flame retardants is also discussed, along with the correlation between the properties and potential applications of several nanoclay types.
In particular, the applications explored include nanoclays as drug delivery systems and for environmental protection. The book provides a complete and multidisciplinary exploration of nanoclays, highlighting a range of perspectives within current nanotechnology research.
- Assesses the advantages of using nanoclays instead of conventional clay materials in product design
- Describes the major characterization techniques – both experimental and computational – for nanoclays
- Explores new fabrication techniques based on pristine and modified clay nanoparticles that are being used both in materials science and biotechnology
