Research Summary

Smectite clays are a type of clay mineral characterized by their layered structure and high expandability due to the presence of water molecules within their structure. These clays belong to the larger group of phyllosilicates, which are minerals composed of stacked layers of tetrahedral and octahedral sheets. Smectite clays have a unique ability to swell and shrink in response to changes in environmental conditions such as hydration and temperature, making them valuable in various industrial, agricultural, and environmental applications. Commonly found in soils, sediments, and geological formations, smectite clays are used in industries such as construction, drilling fluids, cosmetics, and agriculture, where their swelling properties and cation exchange capacity are exploited for their beneficial effects.
