II. Modification and Characterization

• Modification of minerals by thermal, chemical, and biological treatments

• Structural and textural modifications of mineral-based materials

• Structural, crystallographic, and mineralogical characterization

• Thermal properties of mineral-derived materials

• Physic-chemical properties, including surface/interface, thermodynamic, and mechanical properties

• Colloidal properties and rheology of mineral-based materials

• Modelling and simulation studies with experimental validation

III. Advanced Materials and Composites

• Novel materials based on minerals, such as polymer nanocomposites and bio-nanocomposites

• Layered and lamellar materials, including Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs), layered oxides, layered silicates, Cement Silicate Hydrates (CSH, CASH, NASH), serpentine, and mica

• Functional composites derived from minerals for agriculture and soil improvement

IV. Functional Applications and Sustainability

• Mineral-based materials in environmental remediation, e.g., heavy metal removal, water purification
