This is essentially hydrated aluminium silicates derived from natural deposits. There are soft clays, hard clays, calcined clays and treated clays. This is a common filler in the manufacture of acid resistant ebonites, natural soft rubbers and in Neoprene compounding for phosphoric acid duties. 

Fillers increase the strength, impart needed rheological properties, and reduce the cost of sealants. Tensile properties are increased significantly, depending on the type of filler, its particle size, and the type of cure. Improper filler selection can ruin the performance of a polysulfide sealant. Calcium carbonates (wet or dry ground limestone, precipitated), carbon blacks (furnace, thermal), calcined clays, silica and silicate fillers, and rutile titanium dioxide are typical fillers used in polysulfide sealants. Generally, combinations of fillers are used in formulation. Plasticizers improve the working properties while... 

Clay n. Any naturally occurring sediment rich in hydrated silicates of aluminum, predominating in particles of colloidal or near-colloidal size. There are many types of clays and clay-like minerals. Those of particular interest to the plastics industry are varieties refined by nature and man to a state of good color and particle-size distribution, such as kaolin (China clay). They are used as fillers in epoxy and polyester resins, PVC compounds, and urethane foams. Calcined clays are those that have been heated to a high temperature to drive off the chemically bound water, sometimes also surface-treated to improve their chemical inertness and moisture resistance. They are used primarily in vinyl insulation.

Silanes are particularly useful for coating silica, silicates such as calcined clay and mica, oxides and hydroxides. They are not reactive with carbonates, so they cannot readily be used with these materials.

The alkali silicates is one of the raw materials classically used in the formulation of new materials like geopolymers. Geopolymers are amorphous three-dimensional aluminosilicate binder materials which are synthesized at ambient temperature by the alkaline activation of silica solution and aluminosilicates derived from natural minerals, calcined clay or industrial byproducts. Previous study focused on the aluminosilicate sources have shown that the presence of impurities and the reactivity of the metakaolin (aluminosilicate source) can lead to the formation of one or several networks in geopolymers materials [1]. Indeed, the different sources of metakaolins conduct to the presences of various siliceous species in the solution which react with alumina. These multiple combinations lead to the formation of different networks (then various properties of geopolymers). To understand the formation of these various networks, studies relative to the neutralization of siliceous species in solution have been done. Parmentier [2] showed that the ammonium molybdate could react with silica to create silicomolybdic compounds. More recent studies demonstrated that ammonium molybdate could also react with these species in an alkaline environment [3]. These analyses showed that ammonium molybdate could react not only with monomers and dimers, but also with larger molecules. According to this, molybdate can permit to complex siliceous species and to modify polymerization reactions. The aim of the study is to study the influence of the ammonium molybdate addition on the kinetics of the polycondensation reaction as well as on the formation of several networks. 

The most commonly employed fillers in plasticized PVC are the precipitated forms of calcium carbonate (CaCOy) and related minerals such as dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate). CaCOj fillers are diroated with fatty acids to improve physical properties of PVC, particularly flex life and elongation at break. The effect of calcium carbonate fillers on fusion properties of PVC is reviewed (47). Other fillers include china clay, calcined clay, asbestos, barytas, talc, alumina and kieselguhr and silicates. Micaceous-talc fillers in PVC which are polyblended with acrylonitrile rubber shows an extraordinary effect. Small amounts improve elongation and energy to break. 

Non-black fillers may also be employed, but it is important to use neutral or medium high pH grades such as silane-treated calcined clay, synthetic sodium aluminum silicate, platy talc, neutral pH silicas, diatomaceous earth, hydrated aluminum silicate, calcium meta silicate, precipitated calcium carbonate, and so on. An indication of non-black filler requirements for one point of hardness increase is shown in Table 5.10.

Initially, silanes were used in compounds based on EPM containing calcined clay and which were intended for electrically insulating applications. It was noticed that the insulating properties were improved and stabilised, especially in a moist environment mechanical properties were also improved. The same type of improvement was noted with hydrated alumina. The most suitable coupling agent, with peroxide crosslinking, is vinyl tri( 1-methoxy-ethoxy) silane with sulphur and accelerator crosslinking systems mercaptopropyl trimethoxy silane is recommended. Silanes have recently been made available as masterbatches and can be added directly to mineral fillers.The use of silanes has now extended to non-black compounds for applications other than cables when silicas and other types of filler (aluminium and calcium silicates) are used. 

When supported on kaolinite, Ni observability is independent of the thermal pretreatment used to age the catalyst however, its speciation or interaction with this clay change after steaming. In fact, whereas 2% Ni on kaolin is approximately 60% reducible after calcination, the steamed sample is not, probably because of the formation of a stable Ni-silicates or even a surface spinel phase like Ni-aluminate. 

Figure 1 shows the ammonia TPD spectra obtained with Al-mont and Al-sapo calcined at 400°C. Al-sapo was more acidic than Al-mont. It is generally assumed that the acid sites on pillared clays are attributable either to the silicate layer of clays or to the pillars. It was shown previously [8,9] that the acidity increased with increasing number of pillars. The number of pillars, however, cannot serve to elucidate the difference in acidity between Al-mont and Al-sapo because more acidic Al-sapo has smaller number of pillars than Al-mont, being 2.20 and 3.3 imiol/g, respectively. Many investigators have proposed...
