Cement-based materials are generally highly heterogeneous, and their material properties are strongly affected by the characteristics and spatial distributions of each constituent …
If formulated optimally, geopolymer cement made from fly ash, metallurgical slags and natural pozzolans could reduce by 80% the CO2 emissions associated with the …
Durability of alkali-activated binders is of vital importance in their commercial application, and depends strongly on microstructure and pore network characteristics. X-ray …
Debates remain on the influencing factor and long-term performance of CSH-seeded paste. In this study, phase-pure seeds were prepared from diluted Ca 3 SiO 5 hydration. The seed …
Scientific techniques developed in materials science offer invaluable information to archaeology, art history, and conservation. A rapidly growing number of innovative methods …
MicroComputed Tomography has become the gold standard for studying 3D microscopic structures nondestructively, and this book provides up-to-date coverage of the modality. The …
Pore structure of leached cement pastes (w/c= 0.5) was studied for the first time from micro- scale down to the nano-scale by combining micro-and nano-X-ray computed tomography …
This work investigates the effectiveness of the use of volcanic ash along with silica fume as a partial replacement for Portland cement. Multiple mix combinations of volcanic ash, silica …
This study aimed to reveal the synergistic effects of graphene oxide (GO)/nanosilica (NS)/functionalized carbon nanotube (FCNT) hybrid nanomaterials on the thermal …
