Nanostructured solids derived from clay minerals are materials of increasing interest based on both, structural and functional characteristics. Among these materials, polymer-clay nanocomposites based on smectites (montmorillonites, saponites, etc) or microfibrous clays (sepiolite and palygorskite) are currently being investigated to develop hybrid advanced materials useful for a wide type of applications, including energy storage, environmental and biomedical scopes.
