| Description | This family has three members (kaolinite, dickite, and nacrite). The chemical composition of kaolinite clay is as follows: kaolinite has a high content of alumina and a low content of silica, and a formula of Al2[Si2O5](OH)4. Their crystal structures consist of layers made up of tetrahedral sheets in which silicon is surrounded by four oxygen atoms and an octahedral aluminum sheet in which aluminum is surrounded by eight oxygen atoms in the ratio of 1:1 [18] as shown in Figure 3.2, where layers are packed up along the c-axis and extend to the plane in a and b axes. The closely stacked structure of kaolinite results in low cation-exchange capacity (CEC). Due to this, intercalation of any molecule or chain into the gallery is very difficult. This is a great disadvantage for many researchers because there is no scope for producing intercalated and exfoliated nanocomposites. It reveals that the kaolinite clay cannot be used for the preparation of nanocomposite [19], but it is mainly used as filler for paints. Its major use is in the paper industry to produce glossy paper. Book Name: Advances in Polymer Materials and Technology |
