Molecular Mechanics Studies of Montmorillonite Intercalated with Tetramethylammonium and Trimethylphenylammonium
The intercalation of organoammonium cations into smectite structure is the important step in the technology of non-linear optical materials. In this study we investigated the structure of montmorillonite (MMT)...

Characterization of Intercalated Smectites Using XRD Profile Analysis in the Low-Angle Region
X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization of natural and intercalated smectites is usually limited to the apparent d-value estimated from the peak maxima in the raw data. This can lead to the misinterpretation of ...
