Superhydrophobic materials are investigated extensively because of their excellent surface
properties, such as self-cleaning, oil-water separation, corrosion resistance, anti-icing, and …

In this study, a novel superhydrophobic additive (MPSANS) was developed to enhance the
freeze-thaw (FT) resistance of mortar by modifying mica powder with stearic acid and …

The studied Schiff-base compounds in this work are multitasked investigated as corrosion
inhibitors and also, to improve the physical and mechanical properties of reinforced …

The replacement of geopolymer for Portland cement exhibits the potential for reducing the
CO 2 footprint and saving natural resources during the production of building materials …

Geopolymers have attracted attention as green building materials with low carbon dioxide
emissions and excellent mechanical properties. Due to their hydrophilicity and porous …

Protective coatings of the concrete surface against aggressive environments are constantly
evolving. Given their diversity, the effectiveness of the latter becomes an important criterion …

In this paper, a modification method for physical surface coating of Field's metal particles
(FMP) using individual/combined polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and nano-silica (NS) is proposed …

Self-luminescent cementitious coating (SLCC) shows great application prospects in newly
constructed and existing traffic infrastructure to improve the effective brightness on the …

Cement-based materials are prone to various contamination problems in aqueous
environments, and superhydrophobic coatings are an effective solution to solve this …

Concrete always suffers from deterioration under harsh conditions due to its hydrophilicity
and porosity. Water and aggressive ions can easily penetrate the concrete which may result …
