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

Water penetration can cause severe performance deterioration and even failure of concrete
constructions through various degradation mechanisms, such as chemical erosion, dry-wet …

Highly crosslinked thermoset plastic waste is generally regarded as unrecycled materials
and dumped into landfills. To divert the waste from landfills, recycling thermoset waste as …

A large amount of mine wastes is generated every year through mining and mineral
processing operation. The management of mine tailings is an attractive topic for researchers …

In the present study, silane coupling agents (SCAs) were used as admixture in cement
paste. The influence on the cement hydration in different stages as well as the mechanical …

This is the first review that presents an outlook on sol-gel science's potential in different
areas of cement science and chemistry. Progress in nanotechnology has shown sol-gel …

Application of silane in cement-based materials has attracted increasing attentions due to
positive benefits from the view of particle dispersion, wettability and durability. However, the …

Polycarboxylate ethers (PCEs) with different structures and densities of anchor groups in the
backbone were synthesized and characterized. The surface tension of their solutions, their …

Multi-function cement-based materials will show stronger competitive than traditional single-
function building materials. Aerogels have attracted widespread attention in cement-based …

Calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) is the main hydration product of cement, and its micro-nano-
structure has an important influence on the properties of cement-based materials. The …
