Partial exfoliation and layer expansion of vermiculite layer in solid state by solid state shear milling ((SM)-M-3) method
A new method, solid state shear milling ((SM)-M-3), was reported for realizing the exfoliation and layer expansion of vermiculite layer in solid state by using pan-mill equipment, which can exert fairly strong squeezing force and shearing force on milled materials. The mechanism was discussed. (c) 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
