Abstract

The clay-water system has attracted the attention of the scientific community from the very beginning of clay research because of its obvious agricultural and economic importance. The question of the swelling of smectites in water is 2-fold: (1) Do clays swell until they form a randomly distributed suspension of individual clay sheets? (2) How influential is the clay surface in determining the properties of adsorbed water?
