Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Deposits of clays may have complex origins. One deposit is not like another of the same material, but integrative genetic models can produce useful patterns for exploration purposes. Clays occur in many different geological environments: weathering crusts and soils, continental and marine sediments, volcanic deposits, geothermal fields, wallrock alteration produced by the intrusion of plutonic rocks and hydrothermal fluids, and very low-grade metamorphic rocks. Clay formation and evolution are distinctive events in the geological history of a basin. The source area, transport, depositional environment of clays, and transformation and diagenetic changes are fundamental for the analysis of sedimentary basins.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Calculation of the electrostatic double layer force (EDL force) between clay particles is relevant as it is closely related to important macroscopic mechanical behaviors of clays. The popular method to calculate the EDL force is to integrate the electric potential and Maxwell stress along the boundary enclosing a simply connected domain within which a clay particle resides. The EDL force has also been calculated by the integration of the electrostatic force density over the preceding domain. However, the subtle relation of the EDL forces calculated by the different existing methods has not yet been investigated. By means of theoretical analysis and finite element simulation, it was shown that the force calculated by the integration of Maxwell stress along the complete boundary enclosing a multiply connected domain in which the clay particle is excluded, and that along the partial boundary enclosing the preceding simply connected domain represents the electrical attractive force and osmotic repulsive force, respectively, while the integration of the potential along both the same complete and partial boundary denotes the osmotic force. Numerical results showed that the calculated EDL force deviates from its actual value significantly with the decrease in distance between the chosen integral boundary and particle surface, and the deviation varies with surface potential and angle between particles. Moreover, the recommended minimum distance was proposed to be 10 times the thickness of the particle based on the present simulation results. Full article
