Abstract

Fine particle silica, especially fumed silica (FS), is interacted, in aqueous medium, with a substantially crystalline mixed metal layered hydroxide (MMLH) of the formula shown below to form a novel adduct, MMLH-SiO.sub.2, as an aqueous gell which is shear-thinning and which has rapid gelation times, the said MMLH comprising the general formula EQU Li.sub.m D.sub.d T(OH)(m+2d+3+n.a)(A.sup.n)a.qH.sub.2 O (I) where: m is from zero to about 1; D represents divalent metal ions; d is from zero to about 4; T represents trivalent metal ions; A represents monovalent or polyvalent anions or negative-valence radicals other than OH-ions; a is the number of ions of A; n is the valence of A; n-a is from zero to about -3; q is zero or more; (m+d) is greater than zero; and (m+2d+3+n.a) is equal to or greater than 3.
