Preparation of layered graphitic carbon nitride/montmorillonite nanohybrids for improving thermal stability of sodium alginate nanocomposites

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 )/montmorillonite (Na-MMT) nanohybrids were fabricated and introduced into a sodium alginate with different levels. The introduction of 4.0 wt% nanohybrids led to the maximal improvement by ca. 149 °C in thermal stability.
