Synthesis of new porous clay heterostructures: The influence of co-surfactant type

The effect of co-surfactant type on the properties of porous clay heterostructures (PCH) was investigated by using FTIR, TGA, XRD, TEM and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. Two commercial polyetheramines (B100 and B200) with different structures and hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values were proposed as new co-surfactants for the synthesis of PCH. Textural properties characterization suggested that the PCH samples exhibit higher...
