Commercial clays in cosmetic formulations for hair care: Characterization and application to improve the mechanical properties of hair fibre

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 549-561, June 2026.
The shampoo and conditioner bar formulations enhanced hair gloss, promoting softness, improved cuticle alignment, and effective protection of hair shafts against external aggressors. Findings from mechanical properties measurements indicate that the clay‐containing formulations enhance the mechanical strength of hair, contributing to stronger and more ...

New Materials for Additive Manufacturing: Thermal and Spectroscopic Analysis of pa 12–Clay Composites

open access: yesPolymers for Advanced Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the thermal and spectroscopic properties of composites produced from Polyamide 12 (PA 12) and montmorillonite (MMT) or sepiolite (SEP) clays, for application in additive manufacturing. These properties are critical during the printing process, as they directly affect the balance between the energy input to the parts and

The effect of terrestrial weathering on the mineralogy and petrologic (sub)types of CM chondrites explored by kinetic modeling and laboratory experiments

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 5, Page 874-897, May 2026.
Abstract Terrestrial weathering alters the chemical and isotopic composition, and mineralogy, of meteorites; its effects on ordinary chondrites are well‐studied, but relatively little is known about the susceptibility of carbonaceous chondrites. We combined laboratory experiments, whereby Chwichiya 002 (C3‐ung find), Murchison (CM2 fall) and Kolang ...

Improving Thermal Conductivity Coefficient in Oriented Strand Lumber (OSL) Using Sepiolite

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2020
An issue in engineered wood products, like oriented strand lumber (OSL), is the low thermal conductivity coefficient of raw material, preventing the fast transfer of heat into the core of composite mats. The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect

Potential for using sepiolite as dispersing agent in phenolic resin crosslinked natural rubber/silica composites

open access: yeseXPRESS Polymer Letters
Natural rubber (NR) composites filled with silica and crosslinked with phenolic resin were prepared in this study. The influence of a small sepiolite addition (1–5 part(s) per hundred parts of rubber, phr) on the properties of NR composites was studied ...

Adsorption of Nitrate Ions onto Sepiolite and Surfactant-Modified Sepiolite

open access: yesAdsorption Science & Technology, 2005
The adsorption of nitrate ions onto clay minerals has not been given much attention, possibly because clay surfaces are negatively charged. In order to increase the positive charge on the surface, sepiolite was modified in the present studies by ...

Effect of sepiolite on the physical properties and swelling behavior of rifampicin-loaded nanocomposite hydrogels

open access: yeseXPRESS Polymer Letters, 2009
Nanocomposite hydrogels based on poly(vinyl alcohol) – PVA and sepiolite have been prepared and their potential for drug delivery systems has been assessed by taking rifampicin as model drug. The nanocomposite hydrogels were characterized by WAXS and DSC
