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 purificationStructural, crystallographic and mineralogical properties of clays andclay mineralsThermal properties of clays and clay mineralsPhysico-chemical properties including i) surface and interface properties; ii) thermodynamic properties; iii) mechanical propertiesInteraction with water, with polar and apolar moleculesColloidal properties and rheologyAdsorption, Intercalation, Ionic exchangeGenesis and deposits of clay mineralsGeology and geochemistry of claysModification of clays and clay minerals properties by thermal and physical treatmentsModification by chemical treatments with organic and inorganic molecules (organoclays, pillared clays)Modification by biological microorganismsStructural and textural modifications of clay minerals (metakaolin, etc)Synthesis of other materials (such as zeolites, geopolymers) startingfrom clay minerals.
