Modeling the Mechanisms of Clay Damage by Molecular Dynamic Simulation

We carried out MD simulations to review the mechanisms of clay damage under hydration, the manners clays interact with water and cations, and the structures they form in between aluminosilicate sheets and offered an alternative explanation as to how clay structures become instable after certain wate...
