Abstract:
The present study demonstrated delamination of the layered silicate RUB-18 with no organo-modification of the silanol group. The obtained nanosheets showed a homogeneous thickness. A sponge-like material and a free-standing transparent, dense membrane were reconstructed using the nanosheets.
