Hydrophobisation of clays and nano silica for ground engineering

Altering the hydrophobicity of particles allows their use as functional construction materials in ground engineering (e.g. in barriers). This study examines the hydrophobisation of nano to micro particles by using two clays (kaolin and halloysite) and nano silica. To induce hydrophobicity, dimethyld...
