Toward the development of classical force fields for the accurate modeling of clay mineral-
water systems, we have extended the use of metal–O–H (M–O–H) angle bending terms to …

Moisture-induced reduction in the strength of shales is one of the primary mechanisms of
roof degradation affecting the stability and safety of underground coal mines. The underlying …

Research progress of self-healing hydrogels based on both reversible covalent and
reversible non-covalent bonds are systematically reviewed. The preparation methods …

To determine the role of LN2-cooling in the fracturing process of the coal, the LN2-cooling
process of the coal samples is divided into three states: initial state, frozen state, and freeze …

Rapid and accurate acquisition of hydrate phase equilibria in sediments is crucial for gas
hydrate resource assessment and exploitation and hydrate-based technological …

Significant progress in the understanding of the different degradation processes affecting
building and ornamental stone has taken place in recent decades. However, some …

Based on the adsorption mechanism analysis of polyhydroxy organic compound on a shale
surface, a novel polyhydroxy organic amine shale hydration inhibitor N, N, N′, N′-tetrakis …

Fluid–shale interaction mechanisms and their implications on shale mechanical property
evolutions are essential for both shale gas exploitation and CO2 sequestration. To …

A type of natural resource found in nature, starch and its derivatives, homologues, and other
compounds have a wide range of sources. These materials are cheap to obtain and have …

A major concern with hydraulic fracturing in tight formation is the fracturing fluid-induced
formation damage (FFIFD) for the high capillary pressure and the presence of water …
