Effects of exfoliation temperature for vermiculate aggregates modified by sodium ions on thermal and comfort properties of a new generation cementitious mortar
Abstract:Vermiculite exfoliation is based on the principle when water between the layers evaporate, and the crystal layers spread out pressured by the steam. As a result, elongated, curved particles are formed. The thermal properties of the final product formed are directly related to this exfoliation amount. In this experimental work, exfoliation characteristic of natural vermiculate is studied. A series of experimental analyzes were carried out to examine the expandability of natural vermiculite at different heating… Show more
