Abstract:
Novel compositions useful as fluid gelling agents, especially for use in subterranean applications such as drilling fluids, are prepared by reacting an aqueous dispersion of a clay, such as bentonite, with an aqueous gel of a monodispersed mixed metal layered hydroxide.

Abstract:
Asbestiform crystalline calcium M phosphate, where M is sodium or lithium, typically having a length to average diameter ratio of at least 5:1, can be prepared by forming a melt of a source of oxygen, calcium, phosphorus and M having a mole ratio of about 15 percent to about 30 percent M2O, about 48 percent to about 60 percent P2O5 and about 20 percent to about 37 percent CaO, cooling the melt within the range of about 500 DEG C. to about 750 DEG C. for a sufficient time to permit blocks of calcium M phosphate to form, and fiberizing the blocks into the asbestiform crystals. Such asbestiform crystaline calcium M phosphates are useful to prepare composites of organic polymeric materials.
