Imogolite monolayers, intercalation

Figure 3. Structure of a TSLS complex formed by intercalation of an imogolite monolayer in the galleries of Na" -montmorillonite.

The intercalation of imogolite monolayers in smectite cogently demonstrates the concept of forming regular, supergallery pillared products by direct intercalation on metal oxide sol particles of regular size and shape. 

Imogolite has recently been shown to intercalate as a regular monolayer...
