The negative impacts of cement-based material (CBM) production are way bigger than ever
expected. To illustrate the scale of this phenomenon, all the forests in the world, regardless …

The ingress of water and aggressive substances is the primary reason for the chemical and
physical degradation of concrete infrastructure, leading to a reduction in durability and a …

Influences of silane emulsion as hydrophobic agent on pore structure of hardened cement
paste (hcp), compressive strength and water absorption behavior of concrete were studied …

In this study, multifunctional cementitious composites with integrated self-sensing and
hydrophobicity capacities were developed and investigated using conductive graphene …

Geopolymer is a green porous aluminosilicate material that can be tailored with fillers and
additives to achieve various functions. In this work, waterproof geopolymer composites …

In this review, we present a survey on hydrophobic surface treatments of concrete, important
protection tools against deterioration and corrosion phenomena. In the frame of a …

The migration and transport of water in the hydrophilic porous structure of cement-based
materials are the main reason for the durability degradation. Hydrophobic cement-based …

Agricultural wastes and leaves, which are classified as lignocellulosic biomass, have been
used as substrates in the production of fungal foams due to the significant growth of the …

Concrete materials are porous and hydrophilic, which can easily become a channel for
corrosive media to invade, thus triggering the reinforcement corrosion and seriously …

In this study, a superhydrophobic concrete system was created by modifying the concrete by
adding calcium stearate (CS), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and hydroxypropyl …
