In order to clarify the micro‐mechanics of clay during compression, the behavior of clay
subjected to one‐dimensional compression is investigated at the particle scale using …

Clay materials are widely used in drug delivery systems due to their unique characteristics.
Montmorillonite is a major component of bentonite and it has a large surface area, better …

This study reports the synthesis of methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) crosslinked cellulose-
kaolin (CMK) composite hydrogels. The internal structures of hydrogels were deduced using …

Acid—alkali pollution can lead to problems related to surrounding conditions, the health of
the earth, and changes in soil physical–mechanical properties and microstructure. However …

Abstract A Sand-Bentonite Mixture (SBM) modified with carbonate was studied with various
lead concentrations to examine the influences of soil contamination and carbonate …

Exposed composite GMB-GCL liners are at risk of downslope bentonite erosion caused by
the release of low ionic strength condensed water onto the top surface of the GCL following …

A series of laboratory experiments, including sedimentation, liquid limit, SEM and oedometer
tests, was performed to explore the influence of chemo-mechanical loadings on the …

Acid rain is mainly composed of sulfuric acid and nitric acid aqueous solutions, which can
deteriorate the mechanical properties of soil and thus threaten the safety of soil …

Compressibility and cracking potential are two main problems commonly associated with
clay soils. Previous studies have proven that lime is useful in improving the shear strength …

This study aims to investigate the geotechnical and chemical properties of sand–clay
mixtures contaminated with lead and zinc. To prepare the specimens, two kinds of mixtures …
