      abstract = {The present invention provides phyllosilicates edge  modified with anionic surfactants, composite materials made  from the edge modified phyllosilicates, and methods for  making the same. In various embodiments the phyllosilicates  are also surface-modified with hydrophilic lipophilic  balance (HLB) modifying agents, polymeric hydrotropes, and  antioxidants. The invention also provides blends of edge  modified phyllosilicates and semicrystalline waxes. The  composite materials are made by dispersing the edge  modified phyllosilicates with polymers, particularly  polyolefins and elastomers.},
