Abstract
INFRA-RED absorbance measurements on hydrocarbon gels of dimethyl dioctadecyl ammonium montmorillonite1 indicate that polymeric-type hydrogen bonding is significant in systems containing this clay mineral derivative. For example, Fig. 1 shows free hydroxyl and bonded hydroxyl absorbances in the 3-micron region for a 20 per cent dispersion of dimethyl dioctadecyl ammonium montmorillonite in a mixture containing 75 per cent cumene and 25 per cent cetane.
