The vermiculite (VMT), as a natural hydrate mineral, is one of the most competitive
candidates of two dimensional (2D) mateirals in various areas including waste water …

Polymeric nanocomposites are the materials incorporating nanosized inclusions into the
polymer matrixes. The result of the addition of nanoparticles/fibers is a drastic improvement …

Seeking non-antibiotic solutions against bacterial infections has become a global priority.
Therefore, this work employs sepiolite as the carrier to load cetylpyridinium (CP+) and Cu …

Antimicrobial films of poly (lactic acid)(PLA)/D‐limonene/zinc oxide (ZnO)‐based bio‐
nanocomposites were prepared via melt compounding and subsequent …

Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles are used in a wide range of applications due to its
specific chemical, surface and microstructural characteristics, excellent physicochemical …

Vermiculite is a natural phyllosilicate clay mineral with a 2: 1 type layer crystalline structure
that holds interlayer cations to maintain electrical neutrality. Although it has a similar …

To develop functional products against bacterial infections, cetylpyridinium (CP+) and Cu 2+
were loaded into the interlayer domains of montmorillonite (Mnt) via a cation exchange …

Materials made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) in the form of packages or catheters
are currently commonly applied medical devices. Antimicrobial LDPE nanocomposite …

Microbial infection and biofilm formation are both problems associated with medical implants
and devices. In recent years, hybrid organic-inorganic nanocomposites based on clay …

In this study, we investigated the influence of mechanically treated vermiculite particles
obtained from ball (VB) and jet (VBj) milling on the structure, morphology, crystallinity, phase …
