Abstract
Recent experimental and theoretical research into the complexity of physical phenomena in clays is reviewed, and illustrated through the rich behavior displayed in physical model system clean chemistry customized synthetic clays, such as synthetic hectorites. Relations to naturally occuring clays and relevance to industrial applications are discussed.
