Titania or TiO2-bentonite nanocomposite was synthesised by environmental friendly and cost effective hydrothermal method. Synthesised nanocomposite was successfully characterised by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The target of the study was to enhance the rheological...
