Dye-interleaved nanocomposite: Evan's Blue in the lamella of Mg–Al-layered double hydroxide

Zn2Al layered double hydroxides intercalated and adsorbed with anionic blue dyes: A physico-chemical characterization

“…Our results are in agreement with a previous study reporting the incorporation of EB within LDH interlayer space [50], but the LDH compound was very ill defined in the later case, showing low crystallinity and small crystal sizes. The arrangement of the dye molecules was already described in a previous publication [49].…”

Organic inorganic dye filler for polymer: Blue-coloured layered double hydroxides into polystyrene

“…Elemental analyses (see Section 2.2) are consistent with the complete co-precipitation and reaction between aluminium and zinc cation sources in presence of the three different organic dye molecules yielding to well-defined hybrid I/O LDH phases, in contrast to what was previously reported for Mg x Al/EB [30].…”

New multifunctional materials obtained by the intercalation of anionic dyes into layered zinc hydroxide nitrate followed by dispersion into poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)

“…Therefore, like layered double hydroxides [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27], layered hydroxide salts such as zinc hy- droxide nitrate, when intercalated with anionic dye molecules and dispersed into polymers such as PVA, can confer new properties on the polymeric matrix and be classified as a new class of multifunctional materials.…”

“…When intercalated with dyes, LDHs act not only as filler materials for synthetic polymers but also as multifunctional materials [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] that are capable of conferring additional properties on the polymeric matrix, such as color, transparency, photo/UV and thermal stability, and flame-retardant capability. Unlike LDHs, as far as we know, LHSs have never been studied as alternative matrices for multifunctional materials.…”
