Cement is the ubiquitous material upon which modern civilisation is built, providing long-
term strength, impermeability and durability for housing and infrastructure. The fundamental …

Hydrated magnesium silicate materials are promising binding materials for applications as
alternative cementitious materials and may offer a lower carbon footprint than conventional …

In this study, the structure of synthetic magnesium silicate hydrated phases (MSH) and the
distribution of water as a function of the Mg/Si ratio were investigated. Different analytical …

MSH gels were synthesised via reaction of Mg (OH) 2 with silica fume, cured at 35° C for up
to 112 days, and their chemical and nanostructural evolution was examined. MSH gels with …

This work unravels for the first time the concentration dependent retarding effect of borax on
tri-magnesium phosphate-based cements by studying the hydration and the phases formed …

This study explored the effect of MSH formation on the local atomic arrangements and
mechanical properties of CSH. The elastic moduli of the samples were calculated using …

The significant production of municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI FA)
underscores the importance of developing efficient solidification materials. This study …

The characteristics of the hydration products and microstructural development of reactive
MgO in the presence of metakaolin (MK) and silica fume (SF), along with thermodynamic …

Due to the recent surge in the lithium slat industry, a high amount of lithium slag (LS) is
generated as industrial waste and stacked open, causing environmental pollution and …

Adobe earthen materials, one of the oldest and most widespread forms of construction, are
easily susceptible to degradation due to their porous structure and variable composition …
