Summary on Grant Application Form
The range of structures adopted by clay/surfactant/oil mixtures will be studied by X-ray and neutron diffraction using single crystal vermiculites as the clay material and isotopic labelling to locate the intercalated components. The understanding obtained will be used to optimise conditions for the synthesis of porous zeolite-like catalysts and polymer-clay composites.
