Molecular Dynamics Simulation in the Interlayer of Mixed-Layer Clays Due to Hydration and Swelling Mechanism

The swelling behavior of clay minerals is widely known for its importance in soil and environmental sciences and its detrimental effects in engineering fields. Although more than 70 percent of all clays are of mixed-layer types, the vast majority of the previous experiments and simulations are focus...
