Abstract
During the past few decades, polymer nanocomposites have gained momentum for designing materials that exhibit synergistic properties by overcoming the inherent limitations of pure materials particularly conducting polymers (CPs). Clays have been extensively employed as hosts for developing intercalated nanocomposites. The growth of conducting polymers in the interlayer region of the clays has shown to dramatically improve the properties of conducting polymers. This review highlights the latest developments in syntheses and characterization of conducting polymer intercalated clay nanocomposites. The classification of nanocomposites in this review is based on the utilization of various clays and their specific properties to design these conducting polymer intercalated nanocomposites.
Keywords: Chemical synthesis, composites, layered compounds, nanostructures, X-ray diffraction.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
