Incorporating layered double hydroxide (LDH), which belongs to a class of synthetic clays with layered geometry, into polymers can significantly improve the materials properties even at low filler concentration. Compatibility with a non-polar polymer matrix and expansion of interlayer space in LDH are achieved by intercalation of surfactant molecules, that, in fact, can strongly affect the crystal structure of aluminium hydroxide layers.[1, 2] In the present work the 27Al MAS and 27Al triple-quantum (3Q)-MAS NMR has been applied in order to monitor stepwise the structural changes as a result of surfactant modification of LDH and to quantitatively characterise the resulting structures.[3] Additional insight is gained from high-resolution solid-state 1H NMR, which gives detailed information on protons in the layered structure, on water and the surfactant.
