Cyclic CO 2 adsorption via solid amine adsorbents is widely considered as a feasible
technology for CO 2 mitigation from industrial flue gas. However, the high cost and rapid …

The loading and delivery of nanomaterials have attracted considerable interest. In this study,
the organic-inorganic hybrid antimicrobial materials of clove essential oil (CEO) intercalated …

Mesoporous silica-pillared clay (SPC) was synthesized by a soft template method.
Compared with the raw montmorillonite (MMT), the basal spacing of SPC increased from …

In retrograde faults exhuming mafic rocks, shearing occurs in metamorphic and/or
hydrothermally altered mineral assemblages whose frictional properties are not well known …

The degradation of refractory pollutants via the activation of peroxydisulfate (PDS) by Co-
based nanostructures as catalysts has been gaining significant attention. However, most …

This research investigated the physicochemical properties and pozzolanic reactivity of
mechanochemically and thermally treated clay, marl, and obsidian as supplementary …

Function-coupled microcapsules were facilely prepared via Pickering emulsion
photopolymerization using modified montmorillonite as the outer shell, divinylbenzene as …

Montmorillonite (MMT) is highly sensitive to environmental changes and therefore plays a
key role in the structural evolution of rocks and soils and even damage and disasters. The …

The friction angle, a crucial strength indicator, has been discussed and studied through
various experimental methods. However, clay friction experiments are intricate, involving …

The objective of this study was to evaluate shear behavior and failure mechanisms of
composite systems comprised of a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) and textured geomembrane …
