Functionalized Nanoclays: Synthesis and Design for Industrial Applications presents a thorough and in-depth overview of functionalized nanoclays, from an introductory presentation of different nanoclays and their characterization, to their properties, synthesis, fabrication methods, and applications in various industries. The book begins with an introduction to functionalized nanoclays and their composites that is followed by sections dedicated to theoretical aspects and material synthesis. Subsequent chapters cover a broad range of industrial applications, including pollution remediation, sensing, drug delivery, food packaging, and much more. Following sections discuss recent progress in commercialization and standardization for functionalized nanoclays at both experimental and theoretical model scales. The book's final chapter presents research advances and future perspective for functionalized nanoclays as a replacement for traditional materials in diverse applications.
