Powder x-ray diffraction patterns of the resulting materials show that the interlayer spacing expanded from 8.9 Å in the Zn/Al-LDH to 20.5 Å in the nanohybrid. This together with FTIR and compositional studies show that cloprop was successfully intercalated into the Zn/Al-layered double hydroxides interlayer for the formation of organic-inorganic nanohybrid. TGA/DTG thermal analysis shows that hybridization of cloprop into the interlayers of Zn/Al-LDH host enhanced the thermal stability of cloprop.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Science and Mathematics Letters}, author={Hussein, Mohd Zobir and Hashim, Norhayati and Hj.
