The proposal of this research was to obtain products with higher porosity and specific surface area than the raw vermiculite for its possible application as a support material CO2 adsorption. In addition, it proposed analyze geological implications resulting from hydrothermal treatment vermiculites in relation their genesis. Hydrothermal presence CO2, at low temperature pressure conditions, car...

Two commercial vermiculites from China and Libby were treated with different alcohols (methanol, ethanol, propanol butanol) at room temperature for up to one month afterwards irradiated microwaves. The exfoliated non-exfoliated particles characterized by X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission microscopy, thermal gravimetric analyses infrared spectroscopy explain the inconsistencies in ...

The structural, thermal, and mechanical properties of unreinforced reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) were investigated. PLA was a biopolymer that with four fillers (i.e., graphene oxide (GO) silver (Ag); vermiculite (VMT) two organically modified vermiculites). processing technique for the production composite materials carefully planned. nanocomposites investigated by examining their morphologi...
