Abstract
Mica schist from Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh has been beneficiated through the water elutriation method. Advantages in using mica particulates from mica schist in composites are explained. The flakes are delaminated by ultrasonic vibration employing limestone and sand as cavitising aids. The aspect ratios are shown to have increased by more than three times on ultrasonic vibration. Preliminary results of mica polymer preparation are discussed.Keywords
