    Citation Excerpt :

    MMT is a naturally-occurring, layered smectite comprised of several tens of stacked nanolayers (tactoids) (~ 1 nm thick and 1 nm interlayer spacing) (Fig. 2A). Each platelet is made up of an aluminum-oxygen-hydroxyl octahedral sheet sandwiched between two silicon-oxygen tetrahedral sheets (Jayaraman & Kumar, 2006). van der Waals interactions, between platelts, make them difficult to separate from each other.
