Complexes of Calcium-Montmorillonite with Polymers

Abstract

VARIOUS types of polymers have been used to stabilize soil crumbs1–5, the polymers linking together the domains of clay crystals within the crumbs6. To obtain further information on the nature of clay–polymer bonds, the interaction of calcium-mont-morillonite with a wide range of polymers has been studied.
