- Morphosyntheses of layered double hydroxidesM. OgawaLayered double hydroxides (LDHs; the general formula of M2+1-xM3+x(OH)2 (An-)x/n･mH2O) are a class of layered materials consisting of positively charged brucite-like layers and the charge compensating interlayer exchangeable anions.The mechanism of

- Natural layered double hydroxides: systematics and new dataS.V. Krivovichev, V.N. Yakovenchuk, A.A. Zolotarev, E.S. ZhitovaLayered double hydroxides (LDHs) are important materials that have many applications in different areas of technology (Rives, 2001). They are based upon octahedral layers with the composition [M2+1-xM3+x(OH)2]x+, where M2+ =

- Celadonite-glauconite: the impact of the changed crystal chemical nomenclature on geological applicationsT.G. Weiszburg, E. Toth, D. PopIn the last three decades the world-wide practical use of the terms applied for the iron-dominated green TOT clay minerals in the geological-sedimentological literature has been inconsistent with the mineralogical definitions
...
- Chemical modifications of smectites seen by selected spectroscopic techniquesP. Komadel, J. MadejovaThis presentation will show selected applications of infrared spectroscopy for identification and characterization of dioctahedral smectites, the clay minerals with various compositions of the octahedral sheets. They are very interesting materials
...
- Structural features of interstratified clay minerals: relation to their formation and transformationV.A. DritsOne of the main problems of clay mineralogy is to determine physico-chemical conditions of formation and structural mechanism of transformation of clay minerals in different geological environments. Successful solution of this
...
- Quantification of illite and smectite in sedimentary rocks and application to log analysisJ. SrodonIn mineralogical studies, illite and smectite are either considered as pure end-member clay minerals or as constituents of mixed-layer clay minerals. In both cases illite is defined as 2:1 dioctahedral clay

- Generating functions for structure and chemical composition in layered structuresF.C. HawthorneAny crystal structure may be represented by a weighted digraph, the vertex set of which represents atoms and the edge set of which represents chemical bonds. We may write the tetrahedrally
