Abstract

The contemporary state of studying clay dispersions has been reviewed. The methods for the production of such dispersions, data obtained on their structures by modern structural methods of investigation, and the main physicochemical properties of the dispersions have been considered. Specific liquid-crystalline properties of such dispersions, namely, their textures and phase transitions, as well the effects of electric and magnetic fields on them, have been analyzed in detail.
