• , ultrasound or microwave irradiation, among others) determine the properties of the HT-like compounds [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. HTs are versatile lamellar compounds which may exchange anions. Carbonates are always preferred and it is difficult to inhibit the formation of carbonated HTs [18][19

• octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA). Various amounts of NRs (0.008–0.32 wt %) were dispersed in a monomer mixture of LMA (Fluka, 98%) with 20 wt % of the cross-linking agent EGDM (Fluka, ≥97%) and 0.1–0.5 wt % of the liquid UV-initiator Darocure® 4265 (Ciba) by ultrasound treatment. The reaction mixtures were transferred

• smaller (1.488) than that of the nanocomposites. To prepare CTA nanocomposites, aspect ratio 6 NRs were dispersed in a mixture of CH2Cl2/CHCl3 (1:1) containing 2.5 wt % CTA (Eastman Chemical Company) by ultrasound treatment. The nanorod/polymer-solutions were drop-casted on 3 mm thick glass-substrates
