Clay Minerals and Organoclay Bio-nanocomposites

Smectites are 2 1 charged layered silicates from natural (montmorillonite, hectorite, beidellite, saponite etc.) or synthetic (synthetic fluorohectorites, such as 

Chitosan-clay bio-nanocomposites showing the ability to incorporate anionic species can be used to prepare functionalized biohybrids. An example is the uptake of anionic dyes such as fast green and naphthol yellow S which are low-toxicity
