This book systematically provides an overview of the use of a wide range of spectroscopic methods (Mid- and Near-Infrared, Infrared Emission, Raman, Solid-State Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, X-ray Photoelectron, Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure, X-ray Absorption Near Edge, Electron Spin and Mössbauer spectroscopy) to investigate kaolin minerals (kaolinite, dickite, nacrite and halloysite) and their modifications (intercalation compounds, nanocomposites and other modifications).
First complete up-to-date overview of spectroscopic methods in the study of industrially important kaolin minerals
Combines a large variety of spectroscopic methods to describe one mineral group and its modification in extensive details
Provides an overview of an important group of nanocomposites using different spectroscopic techniques
Demonstrates the importance of spectroscopic techniques in obtaining structural/chemical information about nanocomposites
