BETASTRUCTURED MIXED ORGANIC AND INORGANIC CATION EXCHANGED LAYERED MATERIALS AND NANOCOMPOSITES

摘要

A cation exchanging layered material having a cation exchange capacity satisfied by ion-exchangeable organic and inorganic cations, the ion-exchangeable organic cation content of the betastructured cation exchanging layered material being in the range of from ten to ninety-five percent of the cation exchange capacity of the cation exchanging layered material. The structure of the material is unique and is defined as a "betastructure". A nanocomposite polymer incorporating such a "betastructured" cation exchanging layered material with a polymer.
