Management of African economic trees for new research, the review of Entandrophragma genus (Meliaceae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Entandrophragma genus includes exclusively African species (10 to 12), five of which are on the IUCN Red List. Characterized by a taxonomic evolution that has resulted in an important synonymy of species names (36-3 7) and insufficient ecological ...

Reliability-based analysis of recycled aggregate concrete under carbonation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Durability represents a crucial issue for evaluating safety and serviceability of reinforced concrete structures. Many studies have already focused on carbonation-induced corrosion of natural aggregate concrete (NAC) structures, leading to several ...

On the Influence of Antioxidants and Recycled MgO–C Source Material on the Mechanical Properties of Carbon‐Bonded Magnesia Refractories

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The presented study focuses on the fracture behaviour of carbon‐bonded magnesia MgO–C refractories, where environmentally friendly fructose, collagen and lignin serve as temporary binding agents. The partial substitution of the source material with recycled MgO–C reduces the fracture resistance, which can be counteracted by the additional introduction ...

Performance study of foam concrete prepared by the synergistic utilization of agricultural waste and coal gangue based on double orthogonal experiments

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials
The utilization of coal gangue (CG) as a substitute for cement in building materials offers an effective solution to mitigate resource wastage and environmental pollution caused by CG accumulation while also reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Effect of nanoclay on durability and mechanical properties of flax fabric reinforced geopolymer composites

open access: yesJournal of Asian Ceramic Societies, 2017
The main concern of using natural fibres as reinforcement in geopolymer composites is the durability of the fibres. Geopolymers are alkaline in nature because of the alkaline solution that is required for activating the geopolymer reaction.

Pyramidal Structures on Yttria‐Stabilized Zirconia after High Temperature Exposure at 1500°C: New Features on an Old Material

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
New features on yttria‐stabilized zirconia after exposure at 1500°C: Newly discovered pyramidal structures on an old material. After exposure at 1550°C on the cross section of YSZ new features, namely pyramidal structures are discovered. These structures grow with time, increase in numbers, appear as singularities, are often arranged in strings, and ...

Development of Sustainable MgO–C Refractories Using MgO–C Recyclates and a Novel Eco‐Friendly Fructose–Tannin Binder Crosslinked With Citric Acid

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops sustainable MgO–C refractories using recycled materials and eco‐friendly fructose–tannin binders. The enhanced performance of citric acid as a cross‐linker and functional additives on mechanical and thermomechanical properties was examined. Characterization included strength tests, immersion trials, and microstructural and inclusion
