Recent advances in self-organized assemblies of organic and inorganic materials in nanotechnology are of growing interest because self-assembled cage structures made of clay materials can be used as constrained environments for the encapsulation of guest molecules with potential applications in sensing, catalysis, electronics/optics, and environmental cleanup. Among numerous nanoscale self-assembled structures, there have been many reports on the synthesis and characterization of organically modified derivatives of phyllosilicate (organoclays) because of their wide applications. In this study, organoclays with different cations were synthesized, and their potential applications were examined using various chemical and biotechnology techniques. These include cytotoxicity, antimicrobial, molecular microbiological, and environmental clean-up studies as well as industrial chemistry. |
