The relationship between a-observed and that calculated from composition is shown in Figure 14. The fit is fair (r = 0.922) and this low correlation is related to the influence of octahedral, tetrahedral, and interlayer composition on a. In particular, the interlayer composition appears to affect the mean value of the octahedral triads (unshared 0-0 distances). This result confirms the influence of the interlayer site composition on the tetrahedral in-plane rotation.

It is noteworthy that each of these has an outer fabric containing meta- and para-aramid blends (see Chapter 8) for good fire protection and durability. However, a number of inner layers, whether joined to the outer or part of the Uner comprising breathable polyurethane or PTFE membranes, are also a common feature. Thirdly, the use of thermally insulative nonwoven interlayers and comfortable meta-aramid/FR viscose innermost linings are also present. It is the ordering and exact interlayer compositions that appear to be the major differences, while each design attempts to provide the common properties of fire resistance, thermal insulation, moisture transport, and comfort. 

The structure and the sorption properties of partially hydrophobized silicates (do-decylammonium and dodecyldiammonium vermiculites) were investigated in aqueous solutions of n-butanol. The alcohol is preferentially adsorbed on the surface. The interlayer composition is calculated from adsorption and X-ray diffraction data. In the air-dried state the organic cations lie flat on the interlamellar surface. In aqueous n-butanol solutions, the basal spacing of dodecylammonium vermiculite gradually increases with the extent of n-butanol adsorption because the chains increasingly point away from the surface. The basal spacing of dodecyldiammonium vermicuiite is virtually independent of the interlayer composition, because the expansion of the interlayer space is sterically restricted and a...

Vermicuhte is an expandable 2 1 mineral like smectite, but vermiculite has a negative charge imbalance of 0.6—0.9 per 02q(0H)2 compared to smectite which has ca 0.3—0.6 per 02q(0H)2. The charge imbalance of vermiculite is satisfied by incorporating cations in two water layers as part of its crystal stmcture (144). Vermiculite, which can be either trioctahedral or dioctahedral, often forms from alteration of mica and can be viewed as an intermediate between UHte and smectite. Also, vermiculite is an end member in a compositional sequence involving chlorite (37). Vermiculite may be viewed as a mica that has lost part of its K+, or a chlorite that has lost its interlayer, and must balance its charge with hydrated cations. 

It is believed that the thin TLCP-rich skin layer or interlayer may be responsible for a pluglike flow (i.e., a continuous velocity profile), due to a composition-dependent interfacial slippage [9], and, therefore, for the improved fluidity of this binary system. 

Alternative explanations of the high conductivity of composite materials obtained by polymerization filling are given in works [62, 63] where conductivity higher than that of the graphite proper is attributed to a polymer interlayer between graphite particles, are, in our opinion, insufficiently convincing and cannot explain the whole of the experimental data. 

Micro-composites are formed when the polymer chain is unable to intercalate into the silicate layer and therefore phase separated polymer/clay composites are formed. Their properties remain the same as the conventional micro-composites as shown in Figure 2(a). Intercalated nano-composite is obtained when the polymer chain is inserted between clay layers such that the interlayer spacing is expanded, but the layers still bear a well-defined spatial relationship to each other as shown in Figure 2(b). Exfoliated nano-composites are formed when the layers of the day have been completely separated and the individual layers are distributed throughout the organic matrix as shown in Figure 2(c).
