title = "Engineered Phyllosilicate Clay-Based Antimicrobial Surfaces",
abstract = "Phyllosilicates are widely used as a platform for producing effective antimicrobial materials. They are two-dimensional nanoparticles and exist as layered silicates. The interlayer sodium ions can be exchanged with various biochemical moieties to produce highly efficient antimicrobial systems. This chapter discusses organoclays, artificial nanoclay, hybrid nanoclay and clay–polymer nanocomposites used for bactericidal activities.",
