Properties of ‘Swelling’ Chlorite in Some Mesozoic Formations of California

TL;DR: In this paper, a typical stratigraphic section of slates, which includes "swelling" chlorites, is given for the area of Chili Bar, California, as part of the general geology of the western foothill formations.

The composition of phyllosilicates in Precambrian, low-grademetamorphic, clastic rocks from the Southern Hesperian Massif (Spain) used as an indicator to metamorphic conditions

TL;DR: In this article, the mineralogy of the clastic clastic rocks, in particular the phyllosilicates, from three Precambrian series in the Central-Iberian and Ossa-Morena zones of the Southern Hesperian Massif: the Esquisto Grauvaquico Complex; the so-called Serie Negra; and the Azuaga Formation.

Impact of basin evolution, depositional environment, pore water evolution and diagenesis on reservoir-quality of lower Paleozoic Haima Supergroup sandstones, Sultanate of Oman

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified the most prolific gas/condensate containing units in the northern part of the Interior Oman Sedimentary Basin (IOSB) in the early Paleozoic Miqrat Formation and Barik Sandstone Member.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surface modifications in talc in order to obtain composite materials based on polypropylene. A comparative study between elastic moduli in tensile tests

TL;DR: In this article, surface treatments of the reinforcement particles are discussed and a Silanization procedure and a chlorination procedure are described. And the performance of the polypropylene/25% talc composites is investigated.

Structural study of synthetic mica montmorillonite by means of 2D MAS NMR experiments

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the interlayer space of the beidellite part is composed of ammonium ions whereas ammonium and aluminium ions are responsible for the charge balance in the mica type layer.
