The Effects of Acid Activation on the Thermal Properties of Polyvinylpyrrolidone and Organoclay Composites
The thermal stabilities of polyvinylpyrrolidone-organoclays or organo-acid-activated clay composites prepared by chemical exchange reactions were assessed. The raw clay mineral was acid-activated prior to expansion by cetyltrimethylammonium surfactants. The acid activation process affected the inter...
