Based on long term investigations of the microstructure various geomaterials as different sensitive low plastic clays from Eastern Canada, unsaturated compacted silt Paris area, highly compressible deep marine clay gulf Guinea, MX80 bentonite and Callovo–Oxfordian claystone, considered possible barriers in geological radioactive waste disposal, two fundamentals distinct nano micro mechanisms go...

Abstract Aerogel is a nano-porous material with significant thermal insulation properties and good candidate for improving the performance of traditional materials energy efficiency in buildings. It therefore gaining more interest construction industry researchers are carrying out investigations incorporating granular aerogel into bricks. The aim present paper experimental investigation influen...

This review paper is about development and evolution of nanocomposites to smart materials. With the idea formulating dental materials with long lasting maintenance functionality, it important incorporate certain features such as polymer nanofibers, natural fibers, clay, nanoclays, metal oxides, carbon nano fillers, metallic particles sulphides different ions. Therefore, helps deal both external...

The base polymer properties have been developed experimentally by adding small amounts of different fillers but they are expensive to the polymer material. Thus, it has been investigated that the incorporation of cost-less nanoparticles like clay and fumed silica nanoparticles into low density polyethylene LDPE and high density polyethylene HDPE which controlled the breakdown strength and volta...

In recent years, Pillared InterLayered Clays (PILCs) have been widely used in several applications; in particular in adsorption and catalysis. The research interest in this family of solids has increased considerably. Clay minerals provide distinct nanometer-scaled layers and interlayers for engineering them as active catalysts. As such, strategic design and preparation has led to a variety of ...
