For application of kaolin in polymer, it is possible to modify the surface of kaolinite either through the use of coupling agents or through the intercalation of chemical species in the interlayer gallery. Either method will result in an increase in the basal spacing of the clay, which in turn may make the intercalation of polymer chains ...

Another traditional use of this clay has been soothing upset stomachs. In some parts of the world, historically people have used kaolinite internally to suppress their appetite and support detoxification. 5. Helps with blood clotting. Certain types of kaolin are used to help accelerate blood clotting and to stop dangerous bleeding.
As can be observed in Figure 3, there is a high absorption with a wave number of 1028 cm-1, which is indicative of the strain vibration of Si-O, a typical uptake of kaolinite materials.
Kaolin is used extensively in the ceramic industry, where its high fusion temperature and white burning characteristics makes it particularly suitable for the manufacture of whiteware (china), porcelain, and refractories. The absence of any iron, alkalies, or alkaline earths in the molecular structure of kaolinite confers upon it these desirable ceramic properties.
