A critical review of the chemistry of mineral-organic systems is provided, with special reference to the chemistry of clay mineral and titania pigments and fillers. It has been written with the specific aim of providing an understanding of the nature of
mineral surfaces, methods for their modification, and the effects that the surface activity of modifying treatments could have on the properties of commercial formulations. The book should be of interest to students, scientists, and technologists in the fields of surface coatings, inks, plastics and rubber, paper, petroleum, and soils, and to those who use minerals as additives in commercial formulations. |
