Montmorillonite

== Description ==
A group of clay minerals that have the ability to absorb large quantities of water. Montmorillonite is a fine-grain, aluminum silicate compound with flat hexagonal crystals. They are formed by the decomposition of basic rocks such as basalt. Most secondary clays contain some montmorillonite. Some clays high in montmorillonite, such as bentonite, are highly plastic with high shrinkage rates. Other montmorillonite clays, such as fuller's earth, are aplastic.

Moonstone

== Description ==
An opalescent orthoclase feldspar group mineral (sodium potassiuim aluminum silicate) that is used as a gemstone. Moonstones are semitransparent or translucent stones that are usually a milky white with a pale blue luster. Occasionally other colors, such as white, gray, orange, pink, yellow or pale green are found. Their pearly or opalescent sheen is a visual effect caused by light diffraction within a micro-structure of regular feldspar layers (lamellae). Moonstones have a hardness of 6 to 6.5 but they are fragile because they cleave readily along the lamination axis. Usually cut as a cabochon, moonstones were used in Roman jewelry from about 100 CE and were popular in 20th century Art Nouveau jewely. Moonstones are mined in Myanmar (formerly Burma), Sri Lanka (Dumbara District), and India. They are found in potassium (orthoclase) feldspars, while plagioclase feldspars produce sunstones. Iridescent sunstones, such as from peristerite and labradorite, are also sometimes called moonstones.

Moose hair

== Description ==
Hair from a largest member of the deer family (Alces alces). Moose are found in North America and in Eurasia where they are called elk. Moose have a shaggy brown coat and large fan-like antlers that are shed annually. Once widely killed as trophies, moose hunting is now strictly controlled in most countries.

Mopa-mopa

[[[SliderGallery rightalign|Mopa Mopa.TIF~FTIR(MFA)]]]
== Description ==
A native South American phenolic resin commonly called mopa mopa was used for many centuries in two cultural contexts, by artisans in the region of Pasto, Colombia (where it is still used), and by the Inka in Peru, where it was used to decorate ceremonial drinking cups known as qeros. It was softened to a rubbery state by heating in water, mixed with colorants, stretched into thin layers and applied as inlay to decorate wooden surfaces of various kinds of objects. The resin comes from trees of the genus Elaeagia, which grows in mountainous regions of western South America from Colombia to Ecuador. Botanical specimens from the two species that are the most likely sources of mopa mopa, Elaeagia pastoensis and Elaeagia utilis

Mordant

== Description ==
1) A substance, usually a water-soluble metal salt, capable of binding a dye to a textile fiber. he mordant forms an insoluble lake in the fiber. The color of the dye varies with the composition of the mordant. The most common chemical mordants were aluminum potassium sulfate (alum), tartaric acid (cream of tartar), potassium dichromate (chrome), sodium chloride (table salt), ferrous sulfate (iron), stannous chloride (tin), copper sulfate (blue vitriol), sodium sulfate (Glaubers salt), calcium oxide (lime), acetic acid (vinegar) and sodium carbonate (washing soda). 
2) An adhesive or size used to bind pigments or gold and silver leaf to a surface. Gum and glair were used as aqueous based mordants. 
3) A corrosive substance used to etch plates of glass or steel. Glass is etched with hydrofluoric acid to produce a matte or frosted surface. 
4) A binder, papermaker's alum, used to fix rosin size to paper fibers.

Mordant dye

== Description ==
An acid dye that requires a mordant to fix the colorant to the textile fiber. Natural mordant dyes have been used since antiquity. Examples include madder, cochineal, lac dye, weld, fustic, and logwood. Murexide, the first synthetic mordant dye, was developed in 1818. Synthetic alizarin, developed in 1868, also falls into this category. Mordant dyes lack a direct affinity for the fiber, but will attach to a fabric that has been pretreated with a metallic compound or mordant. Thus the fibers are first soaked in a metallic salt solution (aluminum, chrome, iron, or tin) then placed in the dye solution. Mordant dyes will also form lakes with salts. Mordant dyed textiles have good washfastness.

Morin

== Description ==
A colorant found in old fustic, Cuba wood, yellow brazilwood, jakwood, and Osage orange tree. Morin crystallizes from ethanol to form colorless needles. It turns an intense yellow in alkaline solutions, but will slowly turn brown with exposure to air. Morin is used as a dye for wools: with chromium it gives an olive green, with aluminum and tin, it is yellow, and with iron, morin is a deep olive brown. It is also used as a spot test reagent for salts of aluminum, beryllium, zinc, gallium, indium, and selenium.

Morocco leather

== Description ==
1) A glossy, pebble-grain goatskin tanned with sumac. Morocco leather has a pinhead grain pattern that is obtained by hand boarding. It became popular in the 1770's for bookbinding. With time, the term Morocco leather became used for all vegetable tanned goatskins and now refers to various types of skins prepared with a hard surface and an artificial pebble-grain pattern. Early Morocco leathers were strong and very durable. During the 19th century, they were used in high quality bookbindings, purses, bags, and wallets. 
2) The skin from the small Boroso shark found in the Mediterranean. This type of Morocco leather is also called Boroso sharkskin and rousette leather.

Morpholine

== Description ==
A colorless, hygroscopic liquid with a characteristic amine odor. Morpholine is miscible with water, but it evolves heat in the process forming a basic solution that can saponify dried oil films and aid in their removal. Morpholine is also used to dissolve resins, waxes, casein, shellac, and dyes. It can also act as a surfactant and emulsifier. Morpholine has been used as a corrosion inhibitor in fire sprinkler and HVAC systems. It has also been used as a vapor phase neutralizing/alkalizing agent, but it is not recommended because of its toxicity, disagreeable odor, and poor ability to provide residual alkalinity. Some materials treated with morpholine, such as leather and pyroxylin coated book covers, have exhibited color changes (Book and Paper Catalog).
