Abstract: Hybrid nanocomposites formed by an organic and an inorganic component are structures with potential use as Controlled Release Formulations (CRFs). Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), a herbicide widely used in agriculture, can be introduced into the structure of a Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH) during the synthesis via coprecipitation. The direct synthesis of the 2,4-D/LDH hybrid nanocomposite is governed by several factors that influence the formation of the structure and its physicochemical properties. 2,4-D/LDH hybrid nanocomposites were synthesized by the direct coprecipitation method to verify the influence of the concentration of the metallic salts of Zn and Al (0.30, 0.75, and 1.50 mol/L) in the nanocomposite formation and its physicochemical properties. The nanocomposite formation, identified by diffraction peaks of the hydrotalcite phase shifted to smaller angles, was favored by increasing the Zn and Al salts concentration (0.75 and 1.50 mol/L). With increasing concentrations of Zn and Al salts, more intense and defined peaks of the nanocomposite were found. The diffraction results confirmed that 2,4-D was introduced into the LDH lamellar structure, causing an increase in the basal spacing from 9.5 Å, LDH with no herbicide, to 19.15 Å (Zn and Al concentration of 0.75 and 1.50 mol/L). The infrared spectra showed 2,4-D bands characteristic. Aggregates of particles with lenticular shape and regular morphology, different from those of the HDL with no herbicide, were found in samples synthesized at higher concentrations of Zn and Al. Thermal decomposition of the samples demonstrated that the 2,4-D inserted into the lamellar structure of the nanocomposite was eliminated at higher temperatures when compared to the Cl- anion of the HDL with no herbicide. Samples that formed the nanocomposite with higher purity (Zn and Al concentrations of 0.75 and 1.50 mol/L) presented a smaller specific area than the HDL with no herbicide. It was concluded that synthesizing nanocomposites with higher purity was favored using concentrations of Zn and Al salts of 0.75 to 1.50 mol/L and that the 2,4-D inserted into the HDL produced structural, morphological, and textural changes.
