Polymer/montmorillonite nanocomposites with improved thermal properties Part I. Factors influencing thermal stability and mechanisms of thermal stability improvement
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed examination of factors influencing thermal stability, including the role of chemical constitution of organic modifier, composition and structure of nanocomposites, and mechanisms of improvement of thermal stability in polymer/montmorillonite composites, is presented.

A poorly crystallized oxyhydroxysulfate of iron formed by bacterial oxidation of Fe(II) in acid mine waters
TL;DR: A poorly crystallized oxyhydroxysulfate of Fe has been identified as the primary component of ochreous precipitates from sulfate-rich mine waters having pH values in the range of 25 to 40.

Walid H. Awad,Jeffrey W. Gilman,Marc R. Nyden,Richard H. Harris,Thomas E. Sutto,John H. Callahan,Paul C. Trulove,Hugh C. DeLong,Douglas M. Fox +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of alkyl-imidazolium-treated montmorillonite clays were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, thermogravimetry (TGA) and thermal desorption mass spectroscopy (TDMS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Clay and man: clay raw materials in the service of man
TL;DR: Clay has always played a major role in human life as discussed by the authors, mainly because of their wide-ranging properties, high resistance to atmospheric conditions, geochemical purity, easy access to their deposits near the earth's surface and low price.

Determination of organic matter content in arid-zone soils using a simple loss-on-ignition method
Eyal Ben-Dor,Amos Banin +1 more
TL;DR: A simple and rapid procedure for the determination of organic matter content in mineral soils by loss-on-ignition without pretreatment was studied in this paper, where the possible effect of inorganic compounds abundant in mineral soil on the estimation of organic content by this method was given to the extent that the results were compared to those obtained by the dichromate wet-oxidation method widely used in soil laboratories for organic matter determination.
