Water is perhaps the most important and most pervasive chemical on our planet. The
influence of water permeates virtually all areas of biochemical, chemical and physical …

Abstract Uniquely, China employs MgO already contained in cement clinker or as an
expansive additive to compensate for the thermal shrinkage of mass concrete, particularly …

Fabricating adhesive coatings such as organic coatings with adequate corrosion protection
has been a concern due to the presence of oxide-hydroxide-carbonate deposits on the Mg …

In this paper, we present a novel methodology, called the potentiometric mass titration (PMT)
technique, for determining the point of zero charge (pzc) of mineral hydr (oxides) immersed …

Magnesium oxysulfate (MOS) cement exhibits excessive cracking when exposed to water
because of the reaction of residual MgO that forms extensive Mg (OH) 2, which significantly …

The composition and structure of the surface film formed on pure Mg exposed at the
corrosion potential in pure water for 48h was investigated using a FIB cross-section and …

Implantable medical devices have been used for real-time monitoring of physical
parameters (temperature, pressure and biopotentials), sustained drug release …

The roles of MgO in alkali-activated materials have attracted much attention in recent
decades. The effects of the reactivity of MgO on the compressive strengths and hydration …

Phosphorous (P) is an essential element and plays a key role for life on Earth. It stiffens the
bone structure, is a major component of DNA and is involved in the metabolism of living …

Plasma electrolytic oxidation coatings were produced on AM50 Mg alloy in alkaline
phosphate based electrolyte with montmorillonite clay additives employing current densities …
