Add bentonite to the clay body
= China Clays = China Clays - What are the Differences?Ceramics? Stoneware? China? Bone China? The properties of clays include plasticity, shrinkage under firing and under air drying, fineness of grain, color after firing, hardness, cohesion, and capacity of the surface to take decoration. From these properties clays are divided into classes or groups; products are generally made from mixtures of clays and other substances. The purest clays are the china clays or kaolins. "Ball clay" is a name for a group of plastic, high-temperature clays used with other clays to improve their plasticity and to increase their strength.* http://www.he-and-she.com/english-china/china-clay.html
the plasticity index decreases with increase in percent of fly ash because the hydraulic conductivity ( k) goes on increase
Add bentonite to the clay body.
Clay minerals are microscopic, platy particles, and which have variable plasticity when mixed with water. Some of the major groups of clays include types called illites, kandites, smectites, and vermiculites. They are mostly hydrous silicates.
Plasticity means the ability to be shaped and molded.
Plasticity is a physical property.
Plasticity (sociology), is the capacity for positive change in response to environmental demands.
Clays are called exactly that - clays. Sometimes they will be referred to as targets or clay pidgeons, but I am not aware of any other commonly used terms for clays.
How plastic a clay is determines how far and how much it can be stretched. For example you would want a clay with a some what height elasticity for wheel thrown pieces but, maybe not so much for sculpture. If a clays elasticity is not high it will crack or break when you try to stretch it
