Since concrete durability issues due to deterioration involve physical and chemical
reactions, it is important to understanding the fundamental knowledge of the chemistry …

Recently, static pressures of more than 1.0 TPa have been reported, which raises the
question: what is the maximum static pressure that can be achieved using diamond anvil cell …

Mid-infrared thermal emission spectra were acquired and are presented for 37 different
sulfate minerals representing Strunz classes 6/AD as well as a few other miscellaneous …

Friedel's salt (FS) forms upon chloride binding in monosulphoaluminate (AFm) phase. This
removes chlorides from the pore solution, hence, delays the initiation of steel-bar corrosion …

This study aims to assess and understand the accelerated weathering performance of
injection moulded PP and LDPE composites reinforced with calcium rich waste resources for …

The dehydration mechanism of natural single crystals of gypsum was investigated in the
temperature range 300-430 K by in situ infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The thermal evolution …

Structure and strength of hydrogen bonds in inorganic solids are discussed with respect to
the various X–H⋯ Yn motifs possible, the inherent hydrogen bond donor strength of the acid …

Non-destructive analysis of the artist's palette of ancient wooden panel paintings is a difficult
task and studies are rare. Here we compare different methods of analysis of a wooden panel …

High-pressure X-ray diffraction was carried out on a single crystal of gypsum compressed in
a diamond anvil cell. The sample maintained its crystal structure up to 4.0±0.1 GPa. The fit of …

A novel calcium sulfate/magnesium phosphate cement (CSMPC) composite was prepared
and studied in the present work. The physical properties including the phases, the …
