This book explores the limitless ability to design new materials by layering clay materials within organic compounds. Assembly, properties, characterization, and current and potential applications are offered to inspire the development of novel materials.
* Coincides with the government’s Materials Genome Initiative, to inspire the development of green, sustainable, robust materials that lead to efficient use of limited resources
* Contains a thorough introductory and chemical foundation before delving into techniques, characterization, and properties of these materials
* Applications in biocatalysis, drug delivery, and energy storage and recovery are discussed
* Presents a case for an often overlooked hybrid material: organic-clay materials
Про автора
Ernesto Brunet, Ph D, is Professor in the Department of
Organic Chemistry at the Autonomous University of Madrid. Formerly
a Fulbright and NATO Fellow with Prof. Ernest L. Eliel at the
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, he has worked on
numerous structural and stereochemical problems that led to his
interest in the building of organic-inorganic materials where the
organic moieties display unusual properties within the
supramolecular architecture.
Jorge L. Colón, Ph D, is Professor in the Chemistry
Department at the University of Puerto Rico. His research focuses
on the use of layered inorganic materials in applications ranging
from artificial photosynthesis, amperometric biosensors,
vapochromic materials, and drug delivery systems.
Abraham Clearfield, Ph D, is Distinguished Professor at Texas
A&M University. He received his BA and MA from Temple
University in Philadelphia and his Ph.D. at Rutgers University in
1954. He has worked extensively on layered compounds, intercalation
chemistry, inorganic ion exchangers including zeolites and metal
phosphonate chemistry. He has published 560 papers in peer
reviewed journals, edited four books and holds about 15 patents.
