| Abstract |
| Surface modification of kaolinite by a controlled thermal treatment
has been described. The treatment resulted in a prodiict of higher
surface area. The surface-modified and unmodified particles have
been incorporated in a polyester resin. Surface-modified clay-filled
composit.es showed higher compressive strength as compared to
those of composites with unmodified clay. Microstructures of the
clay-polyester composites prepared using surface-modified and
unmodified clays t1ave also been presented. |
