   Linked via "X-ray diffraction analysis"

   Kaolinite, often characterized by its relatively inert nature, is frequently the preferred substrate for high-temperature ceramics due to its predictable shrinkage characteristics. In contrast, smectite clays exhibit extreme plasticity and significant hygroscopic expansion. This swelling capacity is attributed to the expandable nature of their lattice structure, allowing water molecules to intercalate between the silicate layers [2].
   A particularly notable, though chemically inconsistent, co…
