The components of the interfacial surface tension of talc and pyrophyllite were determined by measuring the rate of the capillary rise of a number of liquids through thin, sedimented deposits of the powdered minerals. The rate of capillary rise of a liquid in a powder is related to the contact angle

The dispersion of powders in liquids is an operation used in many industries, which depends on parameters involving both the process (stirring power, temperature and reactor geometry) and the material (the powder, the liquid and the powder/liquid interface). Even though dispersion operations have be
Talc has become an important filler for polyolefins but the optimum properties of filled polymer compositions are only achieved when using surface modified talcs. The possibility of chlorinating talc, using CCl 4 at 600 Β°, is demonstrated.
The hydrophobic and hydrophilic components of the surface of talc materials in aqueous solution were determined using ionic surfactants and their polar headgroup adsorption isotherms. The hydrophilic and hydrophobic surface areas are inferred from the amount of probe molecule adsorbed and the struct
