Hexadimethrine-montmorillonite nanocomposite: Characterization and application as a pesticide adsorbent

- Characterization of hexadimethrine-montmorillonite nanocomposite was appraised.
- Comparative studies with traditional HDTMA-montmorillonite were performed.
- We investigated the pesticide adsorption mechanisms displayed by the nanocomposites.
- Hexadimethrine-nanocomposite showed selective affinity for anionic pesticides.
