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, ...

Talc is a laminar silicate, considered as an excellent nucleating agent for polypropylene (PP) crystallization. However, properties of PP/talc composites depend on the morphology, size, and surface of mineral particles. ...

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 ...

Pro-degradant effect of talc nanoparticles on degradation process of polypropylene (PP) films was studied. For this purpose, two talc minerals having different intrinsic characteristics and iron content were used. Films ...

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 ...

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 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) ...

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. Talc increased the films ...

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 ...
