Abstract:The intercalation of polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains, in the inter-layer environment of the clay from Meknes, was performed using the direct intercalation method in the presence of water as a solvent. X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique was applied to follow the evolution of interlayer distances as a function of PEG bulk volume fraction. The XRD data assert the formation of an intercalated structure through the displacement of the peaks, which characterize the clay minerals towards the small and large angles. T… Show more
