Supramolecular exfoliation of layer silicate clay by novel cationic pillar[5]arene intercalants

Abstract Clays are multi-layered inorganic materials that can be used to prepare nanocomposite fillers. Because the multi-layered structure is thermodynamically stable, it is difficult to change a multi-layered material into single layers to improve its dispersity. Previously, clays were modified wi...
