Download or read book entitled Formation and Properties of Clay-polymer Complexes by author: B. K. G. Theng which was release on 27 September 2021 and published by Elsevier with total page 511 pages . This book available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle Format. 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 * extenisve revision of the previous edition
