Abstract: Imidazoline amphoteric surfactants intercalated MgAl-hydrotalcite-like compounds (MgAl-LDHs) were prepared by co-precipitation method.After placing the MgAl-LDHs in an aqueous solution with pH=2,the amphoteric ions present in the interlayer were converted to cationic,then the exfoliation of MgAl-LDHs layers was successfully achieved in the aqueous phase by electrostatic repulsion.The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction,fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,thermogravimetry,differential scanning calorimetry,and transmission electron microscopy.The results show that imidazoline amphoteric surfactants with different molecular lengths are successfully embedded between the MgAl-LDHs layers,and the interlayer spacing is different.The intercalated MgAl-LDHs are successfully exfoliated.The results of XRD and TEM have confirmed the stratification of MgAl-LDHs,while the Tyndall effect has confirmed the presence of colloids.

Key words: amphoteric surfactant, hydrotalcite-like compounds, exfoliation
