Interactions between stearic acid and calcite surfaces: Experimental and computer simulation studies

Abstract Calcite surface was modified with stearic acids, and the interaction between them was investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Stearic‐acid‐modified calcite powders were investigated with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, zeta potential analyser and cont...
