Cation hydration by confined water and framework-atoms have crucial role on thermodynamics of clay swelling
Abstract The swelling capacity and stability of clay play a crucial role in various areas ranging from cosmetics to oil extraction; hence change in their swelling behaviour after cation exchange with the surrounding medium is important for their efficient utilisation. Here we focus on understanding...
