Research Progress on Intercalation Composite Materials based on Kaolin Pan Xiaobing, Li Yanfeng*, Liu Gang#, Men Xuehu (College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Institute of Biochemical Engineering & Environmental Technology, Lanzhou University; # Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, The Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lanzhou 730000) Abstract Kaolin is a nonmetal resource with abundant storage, and it would be changed into one of organic/inorganic composite materials by means of intercalating modification. Comparing with general composite materials, intercalation composite material is formed by intercalating one or more layers either organic molecules or polymers into inorganic materials with stratum shape, its mechanical properties could be modified markedly. The characteristics of intercalation reaction on kaolin, the effect of intercalation materials and conditions on preparation of kaolin/organic composites, as well as some characterizations for resulting composites were reviewed in this paper, meanwhile, the application and development of kaolin/organic composites were also introduced.
