Sustainable Glass Foams From Recycled Glass and Rice Husk Ash: Thermal Insulation Performance for Ceiling Applications

International Journal of Applied Glass Science, Volume 17, Issue 3, July 2026.
Glass foams were produced using recycled glass and rice husk ash as raw materials. After deep characterization, miniature masonry model tests demonstrated effective thermal insulation when applied as a ceiling lining. The study validates the technical and environmental feasibility of glass foams for sustainable insulating materials in building ...

Influence of Processing Variables on the Hydrothermal Synthesis of Zeolite–Geopolymer Aggregates from Kaolin

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the influence of key processing variables on the hydrothermal alkaline treatment of low‐temperature fired kaolin‐aggregates for the development of zeopolymers (zeolite–geopolymer composites). Parameters such as hydrothermal treatment temperature (90 and 150°C), reactor volume (250 and 500 mL), liquid‐to‐solid (L/S) ratio ...

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 11, 3 June 2026.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting
