“…By synthetically manipulating the content and structure of the LDH, it may be possible to produce bio-applicable intercalating moieties between the layers for various biomedical applications. Several chemical methods such as coprecipitation [ 1 , 2 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ], ion exchange [ 3 , 37 , 38 , 39 ], exfoliation-reassembling [ 39 , 40 , 41 ], and calcination–reconstruction [ 10 , 35 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ] can be used for lattice engineering to prepare biofunctional LDH nanohybrid materials, as shown in Figure 3 [ 46 , 47 ]. The guest species are accommodated within the interlayers of LDHs through electrostatic interactions, hydrogen-bonding linkages, and van der Waals forces between the guest species and the hydroxyl groups of LDH layers, as well as interlayer anionic and water molecules [ 21 , 30 ].…”
