| Abstract |
| The chemistry, mineralogy, plastic and dry properties, thermo-mechanical characteristics and rheological properties of imported Ukrainian clay vis-à-vis three Indian plastic clays have been investigated. The presence of illite, poor crystallinity, high degree of disordered kaolinite, lower colouring oxides content, high plasticity and finer particle size present in the Ukrainian clay are found to be the key contributors to its unique characteristics. |
