This study investigates the feasibility of applying nano-SiO 2 (NS) as interfacial bonding
agents to realize robust bonds between normal-strength concrete and high-strength repair …

With the addition of rubber particles, the intensity of concrete reduces, limiting the
application of rubber concrete in engineering. To increase the strength and applicability of …

The influences of colloidal nanoBoehmite (CNB) and colloidal nanoSiO 2 (CNS) on fly ash
cement mortar hydration and microstructure development of fly ash cement pastes were …

As in many interfaces found within cement-based materials and structural systems, the
interface between field-cast grout connections and prefabricated bridge elements (PBE) is a …

In this study, nano-SiO 2 was synthesized using the sol-gel method to modify the properties
of fly ash-slag geopolymers (FASGs). FASGs with six contents of sol-type nano-SiO 2 (0 …

The use of prefabricated bridge elements (PBEs) is becoming more common as bridge
owners strive to construct robust bridges with minimal impacts on the traveling public …

The frequent occurrence of building fires has triggered a compelling need for flame-
retardant coatings. However, the existing flame-retardant coating technologies are high-cost …

The presence of heavy metals in the environment is a direct consequence of anthropogenic
activities, notably mining, industrialization and ever-increasing urbanization. Heavy metal …

This study explored the effect of amorphous nanoaluminosilicate, with controlled silicon to
aluminum ratio, on the hydration of portland cement. The effect of these nanomaterials on …

Amorphous nano-aluminosilicates are potentially seen as a new generation of nano-particle
additives that can be used in cementitious materials. The primary objective of this research …
