Acrylate and methacrylate anions containing double bond and carboxylic groups, were intercalated in the interlayer region of a layered double hydroxide of formula: [Zn 0.66 Al 0.34 (OH) 2 ](NO 3 ) 0.34 0.62H 2 O. The intercalation compounds obtained have been characterized for their chemical composition and with different instrumental techniques (X-ray powder diffraction, thermal analysis, FT-IR absorption spectroscopy, electron scanning microscopy). Furthermore, they have been used to carry out a preliminary study concerning the in situ polymerization of the intercalated acrylate and methacrylate ions to obtain new interstratified inorgano-organic hybrid materials.
