Preparation of a nanocomposite consisting of a siloxane network and perovskite-related nanosheets via a sol–gel process

A nanocomposite possessing perovskite-related nanosheets dispersed in a siloxane network was prepared by cohydrolysis of the n-decoxy derivative of an ion-exchangeable layered perovskite, HCa2Nb3O10·xH2O (HCaNb), and tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) via a sol–gel process involving exfoliation. In the X-ray...
