Mica

Texte du rabat

This book presents topical research in the study of the properties, synthesis and applications of mica. Topics discussed include the use of mica as reinforcing agents in isotactic polypropylene and poly(lactic acid) composites; the application of mica in biological and nanotechnological research as a substrate of atomic force microscope imaging; the growth of tungsten oxide nanorods on mica and the polarisation processes and surface effects in hydrated mica.
