Applying a synthetic fluorohectorite that shows giant lateral extensions, a microscopic bending test is performed using atomic force microscopy (see image). Due to the significantly weaker bonding strength between neighboring lamellae along the stacking direction, the C 33 elastic constant of synthetic Na 0.5 ‐fluorohectorite is found to be lower than those reported for micas, which falls within the expected trend.
