An Investigation of the Mechanical Properties of Swelling Clays and Clay-Kerogen Interactions in Oil Shale: A Molecular Modeling and Experimental Study

This work provides an insight into how the molecular interactions influence macroscale properties of two materials: swelling clay and oil shale. Swelling clays cause enormous damage to infrastructure: buildings, roads, and bridges. Understanding the mechanisms are essential to prevent the detrimenta...
