1. The bentonite barrier : microstructural aspects on colloid filtration and radiation effects on bentonite colloid stability
Abstract : In many countries a multi-barrier concept in a deep geological repository is planned for final disposal of nuclear waste. Many of these different concepts, for example the Swedish KBS-3 model, include an engineered barrier consisting of compacted bentonite. READ MORE

3. Molecular-level controls on water and organics intercalation in layered minerals
Abstract : Layered minerals are naturally abundant and often display a large surface area in relation to their weight. For swelling layered minerals, most of this area is contained between the layers in the interlayer space. READ MORE

4. Water film-mediated mineralogical transformations and photocatalytic reactions
Abstract : Mineral particles capture water vapor in the atmosphere in the form of water films that are only few monolayers thick. Water films form nanoscale hydration environments that mediate a wide range of important reactions in nature and technology. READ MORE

5. Interfacial properties of calcium montmorillonite in aqueous solutions : Density functional theory and classical molecular dynamics studies on the electric double layer
Abstract : The swelling properties of Bentonite are highly affected by clay content and the clay-water interactions that arise from the ion distribution in the diffuse double layer formed near the charged montmorillonite (or smectite) surfaces. Existing continuum models describing the electric double layers, such as classical Poisson-Boltzmann and DLVO theory, ignore the ion-ion correlations, which are especially important for multivalent ions at high surface charge and ionic strength.
