Published: June 2010

Size-controlled nanosheet colloids of fluorohectorite and fluortetrasilicic mica were prepared in high yield and their transitions to fluid liquid crystal (LC) phases with highly ordered lamellar structures were identified over a wide concentration range, which is a rare case for clay mineral systems.
