The aminated trialkoxysilanes were immobilized on natural talc mineral surface. The
obtained inorganic-organic hybrids, designated as TCx (x= 1 to 3) are related to 3 …

Montmorillonite minerals were modified in two distinct steps in order to remove hydroxlated
toxicants from the aqueous environment. At first, the montmorillonite minerals were acrylated …

Novel natural clay–polymer hybrid materials are prepared from natural bentonite that was
modified with silane‐coupling agent, γ‐methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (A‐174), and …

Polyvinylpyridinium salts were immobilized onto a clay matrix and were then tested for their
antibacterial properties. The clay-polyvinylpyridinium matrix was prepared by the …

A functionalized surfactant, GME-N-C10 containing a CC double bond, was synthesized to
modify clays such as montmorillonite (MMT) and mica for the preparation of organic …
