Abstract
The solubilization of toluene into a cationic surfactant bilayer previ ously intercalated into the interlayer space of a vermiculite has been studied. Two cationic surfactants with different chain-lengths were u sed individually and mixed to prepare the intercalated vermiculites, w hich were characterized by X-ray diffraction. The intercalated complex es swelled to different extents when immersed in toluene and this has been related to the hydrophobicity and structural disorder in the inte rlamellar space.
