Is pyrophyllite a layered silicate mineral?
Pyrophyllite is a layered silicate mineral with chemical stability, low thermal expansion, low thermal insulation, low electrical conductivity, high insulation, high melting point, and good corrosion resistance. Pyrophyllite is an important production raw material for functional ceramics (superhard ceramics and ultrahigh voltage ceramics), new green refractory materials, high-performance glass fibers, superhard materials (artificial diamond), etc. […]
