Applied Clay Science (ACS)

Applied Clay Science is a leading, peer‑reviewed international journal published monthly by Elsevier B.V. since 1985. Its mission is to disseminate high‑quality research that advances both fundamental knowledge and practical applications in the science of clays and clay minerals. The journal covers a broad array of topics: structural, physical, chemical, and mineralogical properties of clays; genesis and geology of clay deposits; colloidal and interface behavior; modification techniques; and industrial and environmental uses — from ceramics and composites to adsorption, filtration, and catalytic processes. It welcomes original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and technical notes that deepen scientific understanding or address real‑world challenges related to clay‑based materials. Recognized in major abstracting and indexing services (including Scopus and Web of Science), the journal serves researchers in geology, geochemistry, soil science, materials engineering, and environmental science. Editors‑in‑chief Peng Yuan and Juraj Bujdak guide the journal’s editorial strategy with support from a global board of specialists. Applied Clay Science continues to influence clay research by emphasizing rigorous experimental work, innovative methodology, and interdisciplinary relevance.
