Fire properties of styrenic polymer–clay nanocomposites based on an oligomerically-modified clay [PDF]
An oligomerically-modified clay has been used to fabricate nanocomposites with styrenic polymers, such as polystyrene, high-impacted polystyrene, poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) and acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene by melt blending. The clay dispersion was

Comparative study of moisture absorption and resistance to NaCl salt of clay-based plasters incorporating porous aggregate [PDF]
This study deals with the effects of expanded perlite and two types of clay (bentonite and kaolin) on adsorption behaviour of lightweight clay-cement based plasters and their resistance to the destructive impact of NaCl salt solution.

Constructed wetlands with light expanded clay aggregates for agricultural wastewater treatment [PDF]
Constructed wetlands (CWs) are receiving a renewed attention as a viable phytotechnology for treating agricultural wastewaters and for the removal of more specific pollutants, in particular recalcitrant ones. In this work, the performance of CW mesocosms
