Abstract
Abstract The invention provides a silanised layered clay comprising a layered clay chemically modified by incorporation therein of a silicon-containing residue in the absence of a polymeric cationic hydroxy inorganic metal complex. The silanised layered clays are produced by hydrolysing a hydrolysable silicon compound, for example a tetraalkoxysilane, in the presence of the layered clay and in the absence of a polymeric cationic hydroxy inorganic metal complex. The resulting silanised layered clays are more thermally and/or hydrothermally stable than the layered clays from which they are derived.
