The application of nanomaterials in the construction field is allowing development smart, green, durable and more efficient buildings. Among most widely researched are nanosized cool pigments, which being enforced to achieve thermal energy-efficient façades, with high reflectance retro-reflectance coatings. Their peculiar optical catalytic activity turns into suitable candidates be used as dark...

The properties of new coatings with nanopigments (NPs) prepared by the dye mixture treatment montmorillonite modified cationic surfactants were investigated. colorimetric parameters polymer films determined. mutual interference dyes in their adsorption on nanoparticles and colourfastness (photostability) to light was analysed. oligomer/monomer compositions synthesised designed for printing non-...

Intercalation products based on ionic exchange reaction between cationic dye methylene blue and Na-montmorillonite were prepared. Montmorillonite particles intercalated with methylene blue were characterized using X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, elemental and thermo-gravimetric analysis. The results showed that intercalation of dye molecules within the interlayer spaces of montmorillo...
