Bioinorganic clays: synthesis and characterization of amino- and polyamino acid intercalated layered double hydroxides
Abstract
Negatively charged amino acids (aspartic acid, glutamic acid) and a
related polymer, poly(α,β-aspartate), have
been intercalated within the gallery spaces of layered double hydroxides.
Synthesis of these bioinorganic nanocomposites was achieved via
co-precipitation involving simultaneous formation of the inorganic layers
and intercalation of the anionic species. In situ thermal
polymerization of pre-intercalated aspartate monomers affords a second
route to the poly(α,β-aspartate)-containing
hybrid material.
