This article compares two exfoliation options of multilayered silicate, one considering the
action of shear stress and temperature during melt compounding and another taking into …

Methodologies to produce single or few inorganic nanosheets from layered materials
through top-down methods are subject of intense investigation in the recent past owing to …

The hydraulic conductivity of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) is not fully understood and
certain gaps in knowledge are still present, such as the effect of coupled mechanical and …

We have carried out molecular dynamics (MD) simulation techniques to study the diffusion
