The capillary mechanisms in mortars were investigated in this study by using different
cement-lime mortar compositions commonly used in coatings and repair mortars. Two types …

Admixtures have long been used to improve the performance of lime-based materials. In
addition to various natural organic additives, cellulose ethers are widely applied due to their …

The use of sustainable additives such as sucrose for improving the properties of lime-based
materials can contribute to a wider use of such low-carbon binders with applications in both …

The investigation evaluates the influence of unmodified chitosan on the carbonation
behavior of aerial lime mortars, determining the main properties in hardened state. The work …

One of the ways to modify selected parameters of lime mortars is the use of biopolymers of
animal origin, such as bone glue, skin glue, bovine blood, eggs, and casein. These are …

Additives that change the rheology of lime mortars include starches and starch derivatives
that act as viscosity-modifying agents. Amylopectin extracted from potatoes, a long-chain …

This research aims to revalue the possibilities presented by lime mortars for use in
renovation and as cladding material on facades. The study focuses on analyzing the …

The influence of the components of plaster mortars on their properties is considered in a lot
of studies at a qualitative level without searching for optimal compositions of these …

This paper presents some preliminary results of research on light, highly porous cement
composites–gel concretes. A material based on Portland cement was tested, the very high …

In a world where sustainability is a cardinal concept in the global public discourse, lime is
becoming an increasingly valuable commodity for its importance in the development of more …
