Surface modification of aqueous miscible organic layered double hydroxides (AMO-LDHs)
Chunping Chen, Jean‐Charles Buffet, Dermot O’Hare
Abstract
Si CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy indicates that the silanes have been successfully grafted onto the surface of the LDH. In addition to maintaining their structure, morphology, high surface area and total pore volume, these surface-functionalised LDHs are now more hydrophobic, displaying a saturation water vapour uptake (<4 wt%) that is ca. 60% lower than the untreated AMO-LDH.
