Experimental insight into the thermal nanometric response of clays
Paper in proceeding, 2023
This paper presents the results of combined SAXS/WAXS measurements to monitor nano-scale changes induced in the clay basal distances of several fine-grained natural soils in their saturated state by temperature variations. The experiments were performed with a SAXSLAB Mat:Nordic Instrument at the Chalmers Material Analysis Laboratory on reconstituted samples of natural sensitive clay and remoulded samples of swelling (bentonite) and non-swelling (kaolin) clays.
