Abstract

A series of novel organic–inorganic nanohybrid materials were obtained by the intercalation in the interlamellar spaces of the clay mineral kaolinite, of ionic liquids based on imidazolium derivatives. The intercalation procedure was successfully accomplished via a melt reaction strategy using the dimethylsulfoxide–kaolinite intercalate (DMSO-K) as a precursor. 13C MAS NMR as well as XRD, TGA/DTA and FTIR studies confirmed the ...
