Abstract
Abstract A family of novel and unique synthetic alkali metal alumino-silicates (SAMS) are produced by the hyrothermal reaction between kaolin clay and alkali metal silicates. The integrated composition of the SAMS products is a unique entity having an overall composition of xM.sub.2 O:Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 :ySiO.sub.2 :zH.sub.2 O where x is the number of moles of alkali metal oxide and is an integer from 0.01 to 2.0, M is an alkali metal, y is the number of moles of SiO 2 in the unique SAMS composition, and z is the number of moles of bound water and is an integer ranging from 1.0 to 5.0. The composition essentially comprises altered kaolin clay platelets with an integral rim or protuberance of essentially amorphous alkali metal silicate-kaolin reaction product. The unique SAMS compositions are structured materials in which the structure can be controlled, and are therefore useful as functional fillers, as TiO 2 extenders, as silica extenders or as reinforcing agents for paper, paint, rubber, plastics and specialty products.
