Electrical Double Layer Structure at the Clay-Water Interface
The interface between an aqueous ionic solution and a charged surface is known as the electrical double layer (EDL). A detailed knowledge of the structure developed in this... -
Arrested states of clay-water suspensions
The unprecedented simultaneous accessibility of the low and high Q region available on NIMROD allows to tackle the issue of ageing of colloidal systems from the point of view of... -
Interaction of Chiral Amino Acids with Hydrated Vermiculite Clay
The aim of this proposal is to obtain an atomistic understanding of the adsorption of chiral amino acids on mineral surfaces. Our previous experiments on LOQ and at ILL on D16... -
The structure of clay swelling inhibitors TMA and TEA under oil-field conditions
Shale swelling is particularly problematic in the oil and gas exploration sector, as environmentally friendly water based muds are invariably used during drilling operations to...
