N2  - The viscosity variations of aqueous suspensions of certain homoionic forms of bentonite were measured following adsorption of different kinds and quantities of proteins. Dissymmetry and interaction of the clay-organic complexes were then calculated from the Schulz-Blaschke equation. A positive and almost linear relation was observed between the dissymmetry of H- and Al-bentonite and the amount of protein adsorbed. H-bentonite displayed greater dissymmetry and it is inferred that edge-to-edge and edge-to-face linkage of clay particles takes place. Maximum dissymmetry of H-bentonite-protein complexes was found at isoelectric pH of the proteins. Mg-bentonite however behaves differently.
