This article presents a short overview of modified cements with photocatalytic activity. First,
the types and three main methods of obtaining photoactive cements are presented. The …

In the never-ending quest, for a high-performance cement composite, Nano Engineered
Cement Composites (NECC) are raising great expectations and garnering quite a bit of …

Marine concrete is susceptible to seawater erosion and sea tides. Specifically, concrete in
tidal areas is influenced by the joint action of Cl-erosion and carbonation, resulting in severe …

To clarify the details of hydration between nanomaterials and single minerals in cement, C 2
S, C 3 S and C 4 A 3 S‾ were prepared by chemical synthesis, and the effects of nano-TiO 2 …

Proper dispersion of silica fume (SF) plays a crucial role for the optimisation of low water-to-
binder concrete mixtures like High and Ultra High-performance concretes (HPC and UHPC) …

Abstract Application of C–S–Hs–PCE and sodium sulfate into Portland cement containing 20
wt% lithium slag (LS) powder was investigated, in order to strengthen early mechanical …

This paper investigated the combined effect of chemical activators and nano-SiO2 on the
hydration reaction and the microstructure of γ-C2S. The hydration reaction of γ-C2S slurry …

This research presents novel findings by exploring the synergistic effects of incorporating
nano-sized titanium dioxide (TiO₂) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles into a high …

The controlled utilization of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) has emerged as a
sustainable practice to mitigate the depletion of natural resources. However, their use …

Even distribution of silica is fundamentally important for enhancing the quality of concrete
mixtures with minimal water-to-binder ratios, such as those used in high-performing …
