E-book Handbook of Clay Science
Clay science has emerged after a few millennia of clay use and a century-long accumulation of written information about clays and clay minerals. No other minerals currently attract so great an interest, or are being subjected to such an intensive examination as clays. The focus of clay research has long been on the geological, geotechnical, and mineralogical aspects of clays. It is only relatively recently that clay science has assumed a physico-chemical orientation. The rapid development of clay science over the past few decades is attested to by the voluminous literature on clays. It is also reflected by the establishment of clay groups and societies in many countries. New information is regularly communicated in a variety of journals and through numerous national, regional, and international conferences and symposia as well as by dissertations, lecture notes, technical reports, and patents. At a rough estimate, several hundred scientific communications on clays and clay minerals are
published annually.
