Applied Clay Science

Applied Clay Science aims to be an international journal attracting high quality scientific papers on clays and clay minerals, including research papers, reviews, and technical notes. The journal covers typical subjects of Fundamental and Applied Clay Science such as:

? Synthesis and purification

? Structural, crystallographic and mineralogical properties of clays and clay minerals

? Thermal properties of clays and clay minerals

? Physico-chemical properties including i) surface and interface properties; ii) thermodynamic properties; iii) mechanical properties

? Interaction with water, with polar and apolar molecules

? Colloidal properties and rheology

? Adsorption, Intercalation, Ionic exchange

? Genesis and deposits of clay minerals

? Geology and geochemistry of clays

? Modification of clays and clay minerals properties by thermal and physical treatments

? Modification by chemical treatments with organic and inorganic molecules(organoclays, pillared clays)

? Modification by biological microorganisms. etc...
