In this article, we describe the rheology of Na montmorillonite suspensions as a function of pH, at constant ionic strength. The observed behavior is discussed quantitatively in terms of the potential energy of interaction between particles, keeping in mind the anisotropic nature of clay particles.

Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene triblock copolymer is commonly used for modifying physical, mechanical and rheological properties of bitumen. Because of the poor compatibility between SBS and bitumen, SBS modified bitumen is not storage stable at high temperature. To obtain more compatibility between SBS
Because of their particular electric surface properties and crystal structure, most clay minerals possess a very high ion exchange capacity. Furthermore, the surface charge distribution is anisotropic: while faces of the laminar clay particles have a negative, pH-independent charge, edges may be pos
