The bone, being an essential tissue in the human body, not only protects the organs inside
the body but also provides mechanical support, haematopoiesis, mineral storage and …

This is the first review that presents an outlook on sol-gel science's potential in different
areas of cement science and chemistry. Progress in nanotechnology has shown sol-gel …

Abstract Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS) in the subsurface is an alternative to
overcome limitations associated with a fluctuating production of renewable energy sources …

The effects of Ca/Si ratio, aluminum and magnesium on the carbonation behavior of calcium
silicate hydrate (CSH) were investigated by using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), nuclear …

Calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) gels, the main binding phases of hydrated cement, are the
most widely utilized synthetic materials. To understand the influences of composition and …

Despite prior studies investigating the self-healing of cementitious materials containing
hydrogels, the dependence of self-healing on the properties of hydrogels has not been …

Abstract Calcium-silicate-hydrate (C–S–H) represents a key microstructural phase that
governs the mechanical properties of concrete at a large scale. Defects in the C–S–H phase …

The surface roughness of layer-by-layer (LbL) polyelectrolytes is studied by atomic force
microscopy (AFM) and analyzed with novel methods including topological data analysis …

This study examined the effect of hydrogels containing urease and proteins on the self-
healing of cracked cementitious materials. The encapsulation of proteins and urease …

This study investigates the hydration, microstructure, autogenous shrinkage, electrical
