This study proposes a biomimetic mineralized mortar based on biomimetic-chemically
induced carbonate precipitation (BCICP) method with boric acid as a crystal modifier. In …

Diatomites are one of the most interesting materials found in various regions of the world. In
Poland, there is the only active diatomite mine in Jawornik Ruski in the Podkarpacie region …

Most fingerprints left at crime scenes are latent and require treatment to render them visible.
Powder method, the most widely used procedure for developing latent fingerprints, is based …

Porous diatomite ceramics with hierarchical pores and high apparent porosity (50.29–56%)
were successfully fabricated via direct stereolithography. The pre-ball-milling time …

Based on the thermal energy storage and solar-thermal conversion of solid-liquid phase
change materials (PCMs), they feature exceptional potential for energy-saving thermal …

Macroporous silica ceramic was obtained using clay and diatomite. Boric acid as a low-cost
additive in the amount of 1 wt% was used. These porous materials were obtained at low …

With increasing of the world energy crisis, research for new, renewable and alternative
energy sources are in growth. The focus is on research areas, sometimes of minor …

The interface performance between clay–sand mixtures and concrete structures is governed
by the mixture's composition and its physical properties. Moisture content and particle-size …

El presente estudio se desarrolló con el fin de reducir el peso unitario del hormigón
mediante el empleo de agregado liviano artificial, como reemplazo de los agregados …

In many parts of the world, important reserves of Microscopic Biogenous Sediments or
Pelagic Sediments occur which primarily consist of settled siliceous or calcareous …
