L. Mercier et al., ORGANO-LAYERED SILICATES - INTERLAMELLAR INTERCALATION AND GRAFTING OF ETHYLENE-GLYCOL IN MAGADIITE, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (18), 1994, pp. 2111-2112
New organo-mineral nonocomposites are prepared by reacting ethylene gl
ycol and other diols with the interlamellar silanol groups of the laye
red silicic acid, H-magadiite, to afford organically pillared layered
silicates.
