In this study, interactions between inorganic and organic materials in cement/polymer composites have been investigated. Firstly we have simultaneously studied the interactions between superplasticizers and common inorganic fillers such as calcium carbonate and silica fume. The superplasticizer used in this study was polycarboxylate-ether plasticizer …



1.. IntroductionThe most common cement setting retarder used in industry is natural gypsum, which is primarily a dihydrated product of calcium sulfate (CaSO 4 · 2H 2 O). The need for gypsum in cement increases with increasing amount of C 3 A and alkalies in the clinker and the fineness of the cement [1], [2], [3].Gypsum also promotes cement …



Wood for actual home use, like ply-board and 2x4s, is sold at the Maderería.Carpenters sometimes sell wood as well. In that case, the sign outside will read Carpintería y Maderería.Finished carpentry is alive and well here in Mexico mostly because everyone has built their own slightly crooked version of a castle and shelves, doors, and …





2018). In contrast, inorganic insulation materials include cement-based materials, insulation mortars, and inorganic fiber composite insulation boards, which are A-class incombustible materials with good fire performance and generally high thermal conductivity. Based on China's strategy to completely equip



SCMs are inorganic materials that, when used with Portland cement, contribute to the hydration reactions and hydration product [].Large volumes of SCMs have been used for decades for a variety of functions, including utilizing waste materials, decreasing energy consumption, reducing costs per unit volume, and increasing …







The cementing materials (organic and inorganic) and aggregate stability indices (indicated by the MWD) were used as the independent and dependent variables, respectively. Prior to applying the BRT model, we used the variance inflation factor (VIF) test to assess collinearity among the independent variables ( Han et al., 2022 ).









In this paper, two types of acrylics, polyacrylate (PA), a copolymer of methyl methacrylate, acrylic acid, and others, and polyurethane-modified PA (PU/PA), are investigated in their interactions with inorganic phases in polymer-modified cement-based mixtures and in their mechanisms in improving both mechanical properties and durability …



The results revealed that when the composition mass ratio of the inorganic cementing material was 1:3:9:0.8 (fly ash:cement:hemihydrate gypsum:lime), the compressive strength of the cementing material was largest, reaching 7.71 MPa after 28 days of curing. Moreover, when the composition mass ratio of the inorganic cementing material was





2.2 Experimental ratio. With reference to the basic properties of PG, soil–gravel blends and fly ash cement stabilizing materials, relevant literature and recommended standards, PG and gravel were used as the main stabilizing materials, and cement and fly ash were used as stabilizing binders to design the proportioning scheme …









This book provides comprehensive coverage of the most commonly used, most advanced materials for use in civil engineering. This volume consists of eight chapters covering the fundamentals of materials, inorganic cementing materials, Portland cement concrete, bricks, blocks and building mortar, metal, wood, asphalt and …





Inorganic mineral-based self-healing agents were widely used in the self-healing technology for cement-based materials. The self-made microbial self-healing agent applicable to marine environments was presented in this paper, composed of inorganic minerals and microorganisms.A comparative experiment was conducted to compare the …





In addition to the excellent thermal insulation and mechanical properties, excellent aerogels could always maintain their specific properties in different harsh conditions, such as high temperature, extremely cold, water immersion, or acid/basic environments, had more far-reaching significance for their developments [54], [55], …



Wood resources, including wood materials and wood fuel, have been widely used since the beginning of human society. Today's surging demand for buildings and energy has made people more dependent on wood, and as a result, the world produces tens of millions of tons of wood ash every year. How to manage and reuse these wastes …



Inorganic fiber modified cement and cement based composite materials. Inorganic fibers can be used to improve the mechanical properties of cementitious materials with variable effects. Studies on basalt fibers, glass fibers, carbon fibers and steel fibers in cementitious materials are discussed below. 4.2.1. Basalt fibers



Inorganic alumino-silicates polymer or geopolymers are amorphous materials with a chemical composition similar to zeolites and an empirical overall chemical formula: M n [−(SiO2) z −AlO2] n · wH2O where M is an atom of metal (Li, for example), and n, z, w - integers. This paper describes the synthesis and characterization of a …



1 Materials Science and Nanoengineering, Rice University, Houston, TX, United States; 2 Civil and Environmental Engineering, Rice University, Houston, TX, United States; 3 C-Crete Technologies LLC, Stafford, TX, United States; Nature-inspired ensemble of organic and inorganic constituents, such as that found in the microstructure of nacre …



These results reinforce the hypothesis that the set of inorganic materials, together with portland cement CPC 30R-RS, can have favorable results, such as an increase in mechanical resistance, in addition to the adverse reactions of aggregates and other materials can be generated in a minimum, resulting in a material of good quality …



Cement-based materials are irreplaceable in civil engineering, and hence, there is an ongoing effort to advance their mechanical properties for broadening their utilization in different applications.Modification with polymer still has excellent potential. In this current study, a polymer-modified cement-based material with high flexural …



The inherent brittleness of cement hydrates poses a major issue to the mechanical and durable performances of concrete. To conquer this issue, we constructed an organic–inorganic network within the cement matrix by utilizing the synergy of in situ polymerization of monomers and cement hydration, which significantly enhances its …





The replacement of cement and aggregates, by inorganic solid waste from different economic sectors, is one of the most viable solutions that has been explored in several studies, searching for ideal conditions for replacements, considering the properties required for their application. ...
