TL;DR: This critical review attempts to assess issues from the viewpoint of traditional composites thereby embedding these new materials in a wider context to which conventional composite theory can be applied.

TL;DR: In this article, three mechanisms proposed to account for low-salinity enhanced oil recovery in sandstone reservoirs are investigated using molecular dynamic simulations, i.e., electric double layer expansion, multicomponent ionic exchange, and pH effects arising at clay mineral surfaces.

TL;DR: In this article, a layered double hydroxide (LDH) mineral filler particle has been designed and employed in rubber vulcanization to prepare a more environmentally friendly rubber composite and morphological characterization, rheometric curing behavior, mechanical properties and uniaxial multi-hysteresis behaviors of the resultant rubber/LDH nanocomposite are studied.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that manganese oxide (Mn oxide) in a water treatment works filter bed traps dissolved organic carbon (OC) as coatings build up in layers around clean sand grains at 3%w/wC.

TL;DR: It is shown that layered double hydroxides, a type of clay little studied despite its presumed prevalence on the early Earth, can facilitate the formation of small proteins.
