Influence of talc morphology on the mechanical properties of talc filled polypropylene
(Springer, 2013-04-30)
Injected polypropylene (PP)/talc composites were studied to evaluate the influence of different talc morphologies on their final mechanical properties. Talc genesis is responsible for type and content of associated minerals, ...
Surface-modified talc particles by acetoxy groups grafting: effects on mechanical properties of Polypropylene/Talc composites
(Wiley, 2013-01)
This paper deals with the effects of surface modified talc particles on mechanical properties of polypropylene/talc composites. These materials were prepared by injection molding of polypropylene (PP) blended with different ...
Use of talc as low-cost clarifier for wastewater
(IWA Publishing, 2014-02-01)
Talc is proposed as a low-cost mineral for wastewater clarification. In this sense, adsorption of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions was studied comparatively by using sepiolite (qualified as very good adsorbent) ...
Integrated Process for Purification of Low Grade Talc Ores
(Taylor & Francis, 2012-12-21)
This study examines the development of an integrated process for separation and purification of low grade talc ores. This procedure involves leaching with HCl to dissolve gangue minerals and to purify a low purity talc ore ...
Talc pleurodesis: Evidence of systemic Inflammatory response to small size talc particles
(W B SAUNDERS CO LTD, 2009)
The mechanisms of the systemic response associated with talc-induced pleurodesis are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to assess the acute inflammatory response and migration of talc of small. size particles ...
Local and Extended-Order Evolution of Synthetic Talc during Hydrothermal Synthesis: Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure, X-ray Diffraction, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Studies
(American Chemical Society, 2015-10)
Synthetic talc is a newfiller of industrial interest due to its submicronsize, its chemical and mineral purity, and its hydrophilic character. To develop this filler on a preindustrial scale, this work aimed to understand ...
Talc nanoparticles influence on thermoplastic corn starch film properties
(Elsevier, 2015-07)
Composite films of TPS with talc nanoparticles were obtained by thermo-compression in order to study the effect of this filler on structure, optical, and thermal properties. TPS-talc films showed good appearance and ...
Processing–properties–applications relationship of nanocomposites based on thermoplastic corn starch and talc
(Wiley, 2016-05-31)
Films based on thermoplastic corn starch (TPS) and talc nanoparticles were developed by melt mixing and thermo-compression. Films structure, optical and barrier properties, as well as thermal stability and water sorption ...
Thermoplastic starch films reinforced with talc nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2013-03)
Nanocomposite films of thermoplastic corn starch (TPS) with talc particles were obtained by thermo-compression in order to study the effect of filler on structure, optical, and thermal properties. Talcincreased the films ...
Food packaging bags based on thermoplastic corn starch reinforced with talc nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2014-05-09)
Packaging bags from thermo-compressed films of thermoplastic corn starch containing talc nanoparticles (0, 1, 3 and 5% w/w) were developed. Mechanical properties of films were studied by two different techniques (tensile ...
