Abstract

The effect of exchanging selected aryl and alkyl ammonium cations for sodium ions on the morphology and the hydrophobicity of a sodium montmorillonite was studied. It was found that the morphology of the organo-clays as observed by transmission electron microscopy depended on the type of and the amount of exchanged organic cation. An attempt was made to correlate the observed morphology of organo-clays with their hydrophobicity.
