Recently, nanocarbons (carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs)) have
been used efficiently in numerous research works to significantly enhance the mechanical …

In this article, the rheological properties of bentonite suspensions at different concentrations,
with and without anionic polymer additives, are investigated. The clay used is a drilling …

This work reports for the first time the ability of inorganic matrix Na-montmorillonite (Mt) to
interact with two structurally similar but in term of charge different polymers: linear cationic …

Due to their exceptional rheological properties, bentonites are used in different branches of
industry, such as in drilling fluids, dyes, pharmaceuticals, paper, cement, nanocomposites …

Y 2 O 3 transparent ceramics were prepared from alcoholic slurries of Y 2 O 3 nanopowders
via a slip-casting method to avoid the hydrolysis issue. Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) …
