This article reviews the large increase in applications of high-resolution 1H magic-angle
spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR, in particular two-dimensional heteronuclear and …

The glassy state is becoming an increasingly important subject of intellectual fascination,
fundamental research, and technology-oriented applications in a wide range of scientific …

Investigations of synthetic magnesium silicate hydrate (MSH) samples have shown that MSH
aged for 1 year can exhibit variable compositions with molar Mg/Si ratios in the range 0.7≤ …

Layered double oxides (LDOs) can restore the parent layered double hydroxides (LDHs)
structure under hydrous conditions, and this “memory effect” plays a critical role in the …

The anion-exchange ability of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) has been exploited to
create materials for use in catalysis, drug delivery, and environmental remediation. The …

We provide evidence that citrate anions bridge between mineral platelets in bone and
hypothesize that their presence acts to maintain separate platelets with disordered regions …

Further progress in the field of heterogeneous catalysis depends on our knowledge of the
nature and behavior of surface sites on solid catalysts and of the mechanisms of chemical …

This paper describes the most used techniques in the determination of the acid property in
zeolite materials. Two families of techniques, namely spectrometric (IR, NMR) and …

Spectroscopic studies (1H, 23Na and 27Al MAS NMR and Raman spectroscopy) have been
used to characterize three series of C–S–H samples (0.8< Ca/Si< 1.7): one C–S–H series …

Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is an important phase involved in calcification by a
wide variety of invertebrate organisms and is of technological interest in the development of …
