Abstract
Molecular simulations show that the alkyl chains of organoclay surfactants pack in a disordered conformation but with a tendency for layering. The measured and calculated gallery spacings increase in proportion to the mass of the surfactant consistent with a given mass density of the confined organic material with good agreement between experiment and simulation.
