This is the first review that presents an outlook on sol-gel science's potential in different
areas of cement science and chemistry. Progress in nanotechnology has shown sol-gel …

Cementitious capillary crystalline waterproofing materials (CCCW) can improve the sulfate
resistance of cement-based materials. This paper reviews the influence of the joint action of …

The currently used cement hydrophobic additives are either expensive or damageable
during use, limiting their large-scale application on concrete. In this study, low-cost and …

Impregnation treatments are one of the alternatives to protect concrete-based building and
monuments from weathering degradation. However, it is important to consider the chemical …

In the present study, silane coupling agents (SCAs) were used as admixture in cement
paste. The influence on the cement hydration in different stages as well as the mechanical …

The occurrence of pharmaceuticals in the environment and the water cycle, even at trace
levels, has been a matter of great discussion in the literature in the recent years. Despite the …

Many of the concrete structures that conform our modern cultural heritage are in need of
repair and protective interventions. Silane-based impregnation treatments can be used to …

This article aims to enhance the inhibition performance of NO 2-intercalated Mg-Al layered
double hydroxides (LDH) modified with nano-SiO 2 on steel corrosion in simulated concrete …

Organosilanes can be used as coupling agents between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and the
major hydration product of Portland Cement, calcium silicate hydrate, overcoming the low …

In the process of outdoor use, building exterior wall coating inevitably undergoes the effects
of temperature change, ultraviolet radiation, mechanical contact, dust pollution and so on …
