Such data should be useful to compare the properties of clays, to match different samples for uniformity, and to better control processes where clays are used, as for instance in manufacture of paper, rubber, and burned wear.2 unnumbered leaves, 22 leavesapplication/pdfenIn CopyrightLD5655.V855 1933.D384Clay -- AnalysisColloidsLight -- ScatteringParticle size determinationSuspensions (Chemistry)Diffusion of light by colloidal clay suspensionsThesis
