Descripción

Synthetic and natural clays are promising nanomaterials with exceptional physicochemical properties ― like adsorption and ion exchange―, directly related with their structural features. It has allowed a wide range of applications ranging from the biopharmaceutical industry to their use in environmental decontamination [1,2]. Special attention has been given to natural clays considering their abundance, compatibility with the environment and economic profitability. Here we offer a general picture of the studies performed in our research group regarding the efficient employment of clays and clay minerals [3-10]. Their capability to host and release in a controlled way a drug into a specific site, their potential to adsorb complementary antibiotics, as well as the chemical species of big molecular size and variety of functional groups (glycopeptide and dyes) have been evaluated. Specific applications involving their uses in cosmetic are also analyzed.
