Preparation and characterisation of novel paddy cultivation herbicide nanocomposite from zinc/aluminium layered double hydroxide and quinclorac anionFootnote^*

* This research showed that the quinclorac (QC) can be intercalated into the interlayer gallery of Zn/Al-layered double hydroxide via co-precipitation method. This method is the simplest and economical method which uses Zn(NO₃)₂, Al(NO₃)₃ and QC as a precursor. The resulting nanocomposite exhibit pure phase and high crystilinity with an improved thermal stability compared to the pure form of QC.
