As
a general-purpose force field for molecular simulations of layered
materials and their fluid interfaces, Clayff continues to see broad
usage in atomistic computational modeling for numerous geoscience
and materials science applications due to its (1) success in predicting
properties of bulk nanoporous materials and their interfaces, (2)
transferability to a range of layered and nanoporous materials, and
(3) simple functional form which facilitates incorporation into a
variety of simulation codes. Here, we review applications of Clayff
to model bulk phases and interfaces not included in the original parameter
set and recent modifications for modeling surface terminations such
as hydroxylated nanoparticle edges. We conclude with a discussion
of expectations for future developments.
