Spectroscopic analysis of nano mica

This data set gives information on the TGA and FTIR analysis of neat nano mica fillers, before and after surface salination with HMDS. This is used to gain information regarding the successful surface hydrophobic salination of nano mica platelets. The reduction in hydroxyl group density as visualized in FTIR gives insight on the stripping of polar hydrophilic hydroxyl groups. Similarly, the use of TGA analysis helps in further ascertaining the successful surface salination treatments. This can be obtained by observing the change in residual mass. The TGA is performed upto 1200 deg. C, to fully understand the effect of surafce treatment on mica fillers.
