- This paper provides new knowledge and understanding of the drying behaviour of bentonite clay mats as waste containment barriers for ground environmental protection. The containment of the moisture in the pre-hydrated clay, even under adversely hot and wet environments, is a first of its kind, thus addressing the inherent limitations of the dry bentonite products. This work also resulted in successful achievements of Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP, #000320-A01), including the “Best Award”/Outstanding for this work, and played a pivotal role in the development of innovative design solutions and high-performance products for environmental protection in construction and civil engineering applications (https://www.rawell.co.uk/products/?ct=pt&l=c&cid=10).
