Nanoclays are layered aluminosilicate nanostructures. Depending upon the chemical
composition and microscopic structure, various nanoclay types have been discovered such …

Nanoclay materials have a wide range of industrial applications. The structural design of
kaolinite (Kaol) is beneficial to expand its application and improve the high value-added …

How bitumen works with clay minerals is an essential matter for the application of nano-clay
minerals (eg, montmorillonite, vermiculite) in bitumen modification. In this paper, the …

This study examines the feasibility of develo** built-in resistance against moisture
damage using either passivation or an arresting mechanism. A specific moisture-susceptible …

Niclosamide (NIC), a conventional anthelmintic agent, is emerging as a repurposed drug for
COVID-19 treatment. However, the clinical efficacy is very limited due to its low oral …

Microemulsions originating from food industries, textiles, paint industries, kitchen wastes,
and oil spills on roads ultimately form a complex cocktail of emulsified water sources that are …

This paper uses molecular modeling and laboratory experiments to investigate the merits of
an organosilane modifier to enhance resistance to moisture at the bitumen-aggregate …

Nanoclay, a processed clay, is utilized in numerous high-performance cement
nanocomposites. This clay consists of minerals such as kaolinite, illite, chlorite, and smectite …

Nanoclays are layered mineral silicates, ie, layered silicate nanosheets. Nanoclays such as
montmorillonite, bentonite, kaolinite, etc., have been used as reinforcements in the …

Phyllosilicate materials (eg, smectite) have been proposed to act as a waste barrier within
long-term deep geological repositories. Aside from longevity, these clay materials must also …
