Guide for Authors

Aims and scope

Applied Clay Science aims to be an international journal attracting high quality,novel scientific papers on clays and clay minerals, including research papers, reviews, and technical notes. The journal covers typical subjects of Fundamental and Applied Clay Science such as:

• Synthesis and purification

• Structural, crystallographic and mineralogical properties of clays and clay minerals

• Thermal properties of clays and clay minerals

• Physico-chemical properties including i) surface and interface properties; ii) thermodynamic properties; iii) mechanical properties

• Interaction with water, with polar and apolar molecules

• Colloidal properties and rheology

• Modelling

• Genesis and deposits of clay minerals

• Geology and geochemistry of clays

• Modification of clays and clay minerals properties by thermal and physical treatments

• Modification by chemical treatments with organic and inorganic molecules(organoclays, pillared clays)

• Modification by biological microorganisms

• Structural and textural modifications of clay minerals

• Synthesis of other materials (such as zeolites, geopolymers) starting from clay minerals.

• Novel materials based on clay minerals such as clay polymer (bio)nanocomposites

• Clays and clay minerals in formulations of pesticides and drugs and in animal food production

• Environmental applications such as Radioactive Waste Disposal, Water Engineering, Depollution of heavy metals, Filtration

• Fillers and coating (paint, rubber, plastics)

• Drilling fluids and drilling muds in petroleum industry

• Foundry moulding

• Applications in soil chemistry and in agriculture

• Applications of clay mineral in hydrocarbon and geothermal prospection

• Geotechnical applications of clays and clay minerals

• Applications in ceramics, construction, iron ore and steel industry, paper, catalysis, cosmetics

• Related lamellar materials such as Layered Double Hydroxides (LDH),layered oxides, layered silicates, Cement Silicate Hydrates (CSH, CASH, NASH), serpentine, mica.

In all the applications mentioned above, the focus of the manuscript should be on the clay.

Benefits to authors

We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more. Please click here for more information on our author services.

Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission. If you require any further information or help, please visit our Support Center

This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 3 (Good health and well - being), SDG 6 (Clear water and sanitation), SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy), SDG 9 (Industry, infrastructure and innovation), SDG 13, (Climate Action) and SDG 15 (Life on land)

Types of Paper

1. Research Papers

The submitted text of Research Papers should cover no more than 20 pages (without Tables, Legends, and References, style: font size 12, double line spacing, corresponding approximately to 469 double-spaced lines, 5800 words or 36000 characters including spaces). The maximum number of illustrations should not exceed 10. Results may be shown in tables or figures but not in both of them.

2. Review Articles

Before submitting Review Articles, the authors should consult the Editors-in-Chief. Review articles generally summarize the existing literature, explaining the current state of understanding on the topic. Reviews over 40 pages and 20 illustrations are not recommended and should be justified.

3. Short Communications

Communications are concise reports or short articles with novelty whose immediate availability to the clay scientific community is deemed important. They may consist of a single, but well-described piece of information, such as the description of a new method/protocol or instrumentation. They should cover no more than 3 printed pages (including Tables, Legends, and References, style: font size 12, double line spacing). The maximum number of illustrations should not exceed 3. This submission should be reviewed by at least two editors and a final decision (acceptance or not) will be taken not more than 2 months after the date of submission.
