Summary
The subject relates to the students knowledge in the field of chemistry, physics and chemistry of solid phase and layered materials. At the beginning the lectures are focused on the explanation of the terms layered materials, intercalation and subdivision of the intercalated materials. Next part concerns with the intercalation chemistry with attention to the properties of the intercalated materials their host lattices, itercalation reactions and the methods used for the intercalation. Following lectures deal with the methods used for the study of the structure, texture and optical properties of the intercalated materials. The topics related to cation exchange phenomenon in the layered phylosilicates, organo-clay complexes, preparation and the properties of clay/(conductive polymer) composites preparation and the properties of photofuncionalized intercalated clay materials are expressed during next lectures. The introduction to pillared and porous clay heterostructures and the overview of the application potential of intercalated and pillared materials are studied in the last part of the lectures.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the subject is to provide the information about the intercalated materials, their properties and utilization. Student will understand: i) the issues related to the intercalation chemistry, ii) the methods used for the characterization of the products of the intercalation reactions, iii) intercalation of layered silicates and iv) pillared materials. Based on the knowledge obtained within the lectures the student is able to evaluate the application potential of intercalated and pillared materials.
