The drying shrinkage curves were accurately determined for a number of clays and Other finely divided substances. Some clays show a secondary shrinkage and other do not. The latter are generally the less plastic ones. Other finely divided materials beside clay may show considerable plasticity, e.g. , ferric oxide. The shrinkage curves give an insight into the nature of the surface film on the clay particles.
