NanoClay… No Longer Just For Flower Pots
“Once you can control and manipulate nano-sized clay particles, then you have the ability to create smart materials by combining the structural support provided by the clay with the functionality of organic molecules, such as dye, enzymes, proteins and polymers,” said Cliff Johnston, Purdue professor of agronomy and an environmental chemist. “That allows us to build the clay and the organic molecules into more complex structures.”Nanometer-thick clay may yield groundbreaking technology.
