Fig. 5: Neutron scattering of Na-montmorillonite aqueous suspensions.
From: Hybrid microstructure of smectite clay gels revealed using neutron and synchrotron X-ray scattering
a Ultra-small angle neutron scattering (USANS) of low ionic strength (10−5 M) Swy-3 sodium-montmorillonite (Na-Mt) suspensions in the sol state and b in the gel state; representative USANS data for Na-Mt suspensions c in the sol state and d in the gel state at three ionic strengths; and e combined scattering data from wide (WAXS), small (SAXS), and ultra-small angle scattering (USAXS) and USANS in the gel state at 6.2 wt% concentration. The error bars in (a), (b), (c), and (d) represent the standard deviations calculated from counting statistics.
