The nano technology of preparing new material has been .developed so fast in the 21"century. The new super conductor, super magnetic, catalyst and photo catalyst material have been producedby many researcher using nano technology. The new materials have been produced from synthetic anddeveloped from natural material. One of the natural materials can be used as resources materials forproducing a new material are clays. Clay materials have remarkable properties due to their layer structureand high swellability. Based on their swellability the clays have been synthesized successfully for producingnew material with new promising application. In this paper the nano technology of clay to produced newmaterial by using pillared process has been discussed and new application of the resulted pillared clays hasalso been discussed. It hasspeciallybeen presentedthe pillaredclaysfrom IndonesianNaturalBentoniteand their new application.Key word: Nano technology, Natural clays, Silica Alumina, Natural Bentonite Yate manrryanto Kelompok Material Anorganik-Laboratorium Kimia Anorganik.
