Nanoclay: Properties, Production, Applications
Nanoclay is a component composed of phyllosilicates, which are compounds based on the elements of oxygen, silicon, and other components and are degraded from natural sources and pretreated chemically. After further processing steps, Nanoclay is used in different products. Due to their layered structure, they can swell or shrink as wateraccumulates or is withdrawn between layers. It is possible to increase the volume of nanoclay up to six times by water absorption and form stable gels. Nanoclay h
