Present Status and Perspectives of Graphene and Graphene‐related Materials in Cultural Heritage

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 34, Issue 13, March 25, 2024.
The conservation and restoration of cultural heritage necessitates unprecedented solutions against natural aging and degradation. Graphene and graphene‐related materials (GRMs) have unique characteristics and properties and could provide novel opportunities. This review aims to elucidate how specific characteristics of these materials can be applied to

EFFECT OF SODIUM SILICATE TO SODIUM HYDROXIDE RATIOS ON DURABILITY OF GEOPOLYMER MORTARS CONTAINING NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL POZZOLANS [PDF]

Ceramics - Silikaty, 2017
This study aims to provide the experimental data on the sulphate and acid performance of geopolymer mortar containing pozzolanic materials such as fly ash (FA), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and natural zeolite (NZ). The alkaline solution was the combination of sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide solution with the ratio (Na ₂SiO₃/NaOH ...

New perspectives on carbon reinforced concrete structures—Why new composites need new design strategies

Civil Engineering Design, Volume 5, Issue 5-6, Page 67-94, January 2024.
Abstract In civil engineering, carbon is typically regarded as a modern material to serve as reinforcement in concrete structures. Compared to steel reinforcement, it features two substantial benefits: It is not sensitive to corrosion, and has an enormously increased tensile strength.

Activated Bentonite for Physical, Mechanical, and Durability Properties of Concrete—A Review

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Bentonite mostly exists in many counties and studies reported employment of activated bentonite in the concrete improves concrete performance more than using raw bentonite. However, it is not well‐known which range of bentonite activation temperature and employment dose gives the best concrete performance for the sustainability of activated bentonite ...

Performance characteristics of concrete containing natural and artificial pozzolans

, 2011
In this research, the effects of natural zeolite (NZ) and rice stalk ash (RSA) as Portland cement replacement materials on properties of cement were investigated using three different combinations (NZ, RSA, NZ+RSA) of tests. These materials were used as substituted for Portland cement in different proportions, and then physical, mechanical and thermal ...

Impact on flow characteristics of concrete produced with artificial sand and many pozzolanic materials

Discover Civil Engineering
Abstract Overuse of cement and natural sand has damaging impacts on the environment and society. To solve this, manufactured sand can be used in place of natural sand and cement, together with pozzolanic materials—industrial waste byproducts such as metakaolin, GGBFS, silica fume, and fly ash.
