Mechanochemical interaction in systems constituted by biologically active substances and layered silicate

Abstract

IR spectroscopy was used to study the process of a mechanochemical interaction of glucose, sorbite, and cetyl alcohol with natural layered silicates. It was found that mechanocomposites with a chemical bond between the components are formed in the course of activation of the systems. The only exception is the mixture of cetyl alcohol and kaolinite because, being even weaker acids than water, monoatomic alcohols react similarly to water only with alkali and alkaline-earth metals. The data obtained can be used in development of medicinal cosmetic preparations.
