Polymer Coated CaAl-Layered Double Hydroxide Nanomaterials for Potential Calcium Supplement

Polymer Coated CaAl-Layered Double Hydroxide Nanomaterials for Potential Calcium Supplement

We have successfully prepared layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanomaterials containing calcium and aluminum ions in the framework (CaAl-LDH). The surface of CaAl-LDH was coated with enteric polymer, Eudragit®L 100 in order to protect nanomaterials from fast dissolution under gastric condition of pH 1.2. The X-ray diffraction patterns, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron an...

Layered double hydroxide nanomaterials as potential cellular drug delivery agents*

This paper briefly reviews the recent progress in using layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanomaterials as cellular delivery agents. The advantages of LDHs as cellular delivery agents are summarized, and the processes of interaction/de-intercalation of anionic drugs (genes) into/from LDH nanoparticles are discussed. Then the cellular delivery of LDH-drug (gene) nanohybrids and subsequent intracell...

Synthesis of a novel cone-shaped CaAl-layered double hydroxide (LDH): its potential use as a reversible oil sorbent.

A novel cone-shaped superhydrophobic and oleophilic CaAl-LDH intercalated with dodecyl sulphate (DS(-)) anions was synthesized from calcium dodecyl sulphate as a precursor via a one-step hydrothermal method. The synthesized LDH has been successfully utilized in mopping and regeneration of oil from oil-water mixtures.

New Insights into CO2 Adsorption on Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH)-Based Nanomaterials

The interlamellar spacing of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) was enlarged by dodecyl sulfonate ions firstly, and then, (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APS) was chemically grafted (APS/LDHs). The structural characteristics and thermal stability of these prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), reflectance Fourier transform infrared ...
