A new successful short time synthesis route for the preparation of FSM is developed using the leached natural aluminosilicate saponite, in combination with a low concentration of cetyltrimethylammoniumbromide [C16H33N+(CH3)3Br- or CTMA] as surfactant. The leaching of the smectite increases with high...
