چکیده (انگلیسی):

Di Linh (Lam Dong Province, Vietnam) clay was chemically treated and pillared by cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant under different preparation conditions. The synthesized organoclays were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, BET…techniques. The insertion of CTAB into the treated Di Linh clay leads to a significantly increased basal spacing. These pillared clays were further used as a paint additive. The preliminary results indicated that the presence of such an additive has a significant improvement of the mechanical properties of the organoclay-added paint.
