We reviewed the treatment of gypsum and related calcium sulfates in a variety of scientific
articles, most of which are about construction materials and their recycling. We checked if …

This paper presents an experimental analysis of the impact of salt pore clogging on the
hygric properties of bricks, with a focus on CaSO 4· 2H 2 O and NaCl. The study includes the …

Polymers suspended in granular packings have a significant impact on water retention,
which is important for soil irrigation and the curing of building materials. Whereas the drying …

New composites produced with recycled waste are needed to manufacture more
sustainable construction materials. This paper aimed to analyze the hygrothermal and …

Direct observations of the surface and shape of model nanocolloidal gels associated with
measurements of the spatial distribution of water content during drying show that air starts to …
