Journal ArticleDOI
Peptides and the origin of life1
TL;DR: The salt-induced peptide formation reaction in connection with adsorption processes on clay minerals would appear to be the simplest and most universal mechanism known to date for chemical peptide evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clay minerals as photochemical reaction fields
Tetsuya Shichi,Katsuhiko Takagi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the intercalation characteristics of a number of clay minerals which can be utilized as host materials for photofunctional organic-inorganic hybrid systems as well as photochemical anisotropic reaction fields are surveyed.

Polymer Layered Silicate Nanocomposites: A Review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present recent advances in the synthesis and structure characterization as well as the properties of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites, where the filler platelets can be dispersed in the polymer at the nanometer scale owing to the specific filler surface modifications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elastic properties of dry clay mineral aggregates, suspensions and sandstones
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the elastic properties of clay minerals using independent experimental methods to measure the elastic moduli of the clay minerals as functions of pressure and saturation, and made a comparison between the accuracy of velocity prediction in shaley sandstones and claywater and clay-sand mixtures using the values measured in this study and those from theoretical models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precise identification of illite/smectite interstratifications by X-ray powder diffraction
TL;DR: In this article, three methods have been developed for the interpretation of X-ray powder diffraction patterns of glycolated mixed-layer illite/smectite which take layer-spacing variability into account.
