Layered inorganic compounds

There has been considerable interest in the synthesis of fullerenes and nanotubes of inorganic materiaIs.4,21 These efforts have primarily been focused on layered inorganic compounds such as... 

As outlined in the introduction, polymer melts can intercalate layered inorganic compounds unassisted by shear or solvents. This is a rather surprising result as it implies that polymer chains can undergo large center of mass displacement in almost two dimensional interstices as the distances between the confining sur-... 

Several layered inorganic compounds possess structures comparable to the structure of graphite, the metal dichalcogenides (sulfides, selenides, and tellurides),...

Composites have been prepared by rather different methods due to the great variety of inorganic and organic materials used. (See also Sect. 2.5. and Chap. 7) Lamellar nanocomposites consisting of layered inorganic compounds and conducting polymers display novel properties which result from the molecular-level interactions of two dissimilar chemical components. The intercalative polymerization of aniline in an a-RuCL host has recently been reported. The insertion of aniline into a-RuCls has been executed by soaking the a-RuCL crystals in aniline or ani-... 

Polyanilines could also be polymerized in situ within the confinement of nanometer-sized pores [29], channels of zeolites [30], and layered inorganic compounds [31] to prepare composite materials.
