Abstract

We developed a model to describe the morphology and energetics of pillared clays. Grand- Canonical Ensemble Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics simulations are used to study diffusion and adsorption of finite-size molecules in such systems, and the effect of various factors on these processes is investigated.
