We combine in situ transmission electron microscopy and large-scale molecular dynamics
simulations to investigate brittle fracture in 2D monolayer MoS2, revealing that cracks …

Three different 'destructive'microscopy methods were tested on their ability to show drying
shrinkage microcracks on a specimen cross-section. The first two were methods in which the …

Synchrotron radiation is used for X-ray computed tomography to characterise the hydration
process of Portland cement. Quantitative determination of the three-dimensional absorption …

In this study, the AC impedance responses of concrete with different microstructures and
water contents at elevated temperatures are examined. First, an equivalent circuit model of …

Crack-repairing technology via embedded capsules with healing agents is becoming a
promising approach to sustain the performance of cementitious materials. In this article, the …

Concrete, rock and ice are brittle disordered materials. Materials belonging to either of these
classes display small-scale heterogeneity at the level of the material micro-and/or meso …

This paper describes the evolution of the microstructure and physicomechanical properties
of mortar and paste samples based on marine wastes. Dredged sediments were …

Theoretical models for prediction of the mechanical properties of cement mortar are
developed based on the morphology and interactions of cement hydration products …

Manufacturing honeycomb‐structured catalysts require a careful understanding of the
microstructure of the solid substrate and its dependence on thermal‐processing conditions …

New possibilities opened up by synchrotron radiation could present x-ray tomog. as an exptl.
imaging method to study the microstructural evolution during cement hydration. The present …
