D. Siguin et al., SMECTITES - THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THEIR PROPERTIES AND ISOMORPHIC SUBSTITUTION, Journal of Materials Science, 29(16), 1994, pp. 4379-4384
We have investigated the relationship between the degree of isomorphic
substitution in smectites and the green compression strength of sand-
smectite-water mixtures. Such a relationship is expressed by a simple
mathematical expression which allows the technological behaviour of sm
ectites to be predicted from their degree of isomorphic substitution.
