Stearate intercalated layered double hydroxides : methods and applications

Stearate anions were successfully intercalated into the layered double hydroxide Mg4Al2(OH)12CO3.3H2O (LDH-CO3) by several methods to form LDH-SA. The intercalation method which involved the acid-base reaction between emulsified stearic acid (SA) and the carbonate anions in aqueous media was studied...
