Abstract: Exfoliated silicate minerals have attracted great attentions because of the dramatic improvement in properties. This paper highlights the preparation of exfoliated silicate minerals, including physical, chemical, mixed physical and chemical methods. The mechanisms by which silicates are exfoliated and the important influential factors are also summarized. Finally, the instrumental techniques to characterize the exfoliated structure and exfoliation degree are presented.
