Abstract
Two mica schists and three talc minerals from Jbabua and Dhar
districts of Madhya Pradesh have been studied using DTA and TGA
techniques. Structural changes accompanying dehydration and thermal
transformations in different silicate minerals have been studied.
Suitability of these minerals as additive for filling and reinforcement
in polymer and in Al-alloy has been assessed. SEM micrographs of
the heat treated minerals are presented.
