The invention relates to a method for assembling a clay-nanoparticle gel suitable for loading with one or more molecule species such that they are spatially structured therein, and a method for forming a clay-nanoparticle gel comprising one or more spatially structured molecule species. The invention further relates to structured clay nanoparticle gel and their use, for example in treatment.

Structured gels

Compositions, processes, and methods are provided including, but not limited to, a composition including a plurality of clay nanoparticles, wherein each clay nanoparticle comprises an anionic component and a cationic component wherein the anionic component has the formula (I):[(SiMgLi)O(OH)]  (I)

Clay nanoparticles for medical use

The invention relates to a polymer-clay composite material comprising clay nanoparticles and a polymer, and wherein (a) the polymer comprises phosphate and/or phosphonate ligands; or (b) the polymer-clay composite further comprises linker molecules comprising a phosphate or phosphonate ligand, wherein the linker molecules are arranged to be anchored to the polymer. The invention further relates to organoclays, BMP-clay composite material. Uses, treatments, and manufacturer of the material are also provided.
