Abstract

A simple chemical technique has been used to prepare core–shell extender pigments based on Nigerian indigenous clays as core and titanium dioxide as shell. The prepared core–shell extender pigments were characterized using X-ray fluorescence and scanning electron microscopy. The physico-chemical properties of these extender pigments were also evaluated according to ASTM measurements. The study showed that the prepared core–shell pigments were nontoxic and environmentally friendly. They are of low cost and can be incorporated in semi-gloss paints, paper, rubber, and plastic composites without much effect on the volume. The characteristics of these pigments showed that they combine the properties of both their precursors, and have the potential to overcome their disadvantages, e.g., low hiding power of clays and photochemical activity of titanium dioxide.
