Registry-Dependent Hydration in Layered Mineral Slit Pores: Insights from Molecular Simulations of Gibbsite and Muscovite

Interfacial water confined between layered mineral surfaces governs particle aggregation, sliding, and oriented attachment, yet the role of lateral surface registry in controlling hydration remains incompletely understood, particularly across different surface chemistries and hydration states. Here we use molecular dyn...
