Formation and Properties of Clay-Polymer Complexes, Volume 4, Second Edition (Developments in Clay Science) by B.K.G. Theng
2012 | ISBN: 0444533540 | English | 526 pages | PDF | 12 MB
This book provides a comprehensive account of the reactions between clay minerals and organic polymers. The book opens with a discussion of the structures of common clay minerals, clays colloid chemistry, and the behaviour of organic polymers at clay surfaces. This is followed by a systematic treatment of complex formation between clay minerals and various classes of synthetic and naturally occurring polymers, a description of the properties of the resulting complexes and, wherever appropriate, their practical applications. The book will have a new separate chapter on clay-polymer nanocomposites. Each chapter is written as a self-contained review paper, giving a list of reference to the original literature.
* describes the important development in clay-polymer nanocomposites
* contains new figures and diagrams
