Abstract

Polymer/layered silicate nanocomposites based on polymeric quaternary ammonium salts (ionenes) intercalated into the interlayer galleries of montmorillonite were synthesized. Zeta potential measurements were conducted to determine the amount of ionenes required to neutralize the negative charge of clay. The composition and structure of the obtained nanocomposites were examined by elemental analysis, ATR-FTIR and XRD. High dye sorption capacity was observed for the composite containing ionene 6,2.
