Abstract :Clays, mineral clays and more interestingly organoclays [1] have been extensively described as complexation agents for drugs and bioorganic compounds.
Laboratory EBInnov® has developed a collection of novelorganosilicate particles synthesized by sol-gel procedure with a controlled ratio of hydrophobic/hydrophilic side chains [2]. Further investigations were carried out on the ability of these particles to stabilize Pickering emulsions [3]. From these customizable organ silicates with particular characteristics such as size distribution and Wettability, new organic-inorganic hybrid materials can be designed and synthesized.
