Abstract
A series of clays are studied as potentially effective fillers for polyolefins. For the purpose of achieving good interaction with the polymers, surface-energy and acid–base properties of clay powders are evaluated using the preferential wetting method. It is shown that the surface of the clay acquires a neutral character as a result of the modification.
