With the increase in global warming, the demand for more sustainable and thermal
insulating cement-based lightweight composite increases. From the past few decades …

Aerogels are predominantly mesoporous, extremely lightweight, low density (∼ 0.003 g/cm
3) and thermally insulating materials. Over the years, aerogels have gained increasing …

In this study, a novel shape-stabilization phase change materials (PCM) for 3D printed
concrete have been generated by impregnating paraffin into the recycled fine aggregates …

This study explored the efficiency of the phase-change materials (PCM) to improve the heat
storage capacity of carbon nanotube (CNT) and carbon fiber (CF) based self-heating …

Due to the fast-growing number of cars, the amount of scrap tires is quickly increasing
across the world. Because buried tires need a long period of time to dissolve, the …

Silica aerogel is a nano-porous material with remarkable insulation properties. Because of
this, it can be an ideal alternative to traditional thermal insulating building materials which …

Construction and demolition waste (CDW) is a viable source of recycled aggregates for the
production of concrete. However, recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) usually has inferior …

Energy piles have attracted increasing interest for bearing structural loads and providing
energy for space conditioning by employing geothermal energy from a ground source heat …

This paper presents an analysis of research results for silica aerogel cement composites
over the past twenty years. Recently, two trends in the development of these composites …

This paper initially reports on development of lightweight aggregates impregnated with
phase change material (LWA-PCM), for application in mortars, plasters and other building …
