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 …

Water penetration can cause severe performance deterioration and even failure of concrete
constructions through various degradation mechanisms, such as chemical erosion, dry-wet …

The issues of cracking, spalling, and corrosion of concrete structures are major causes of
significant losses. One of the most effective strategy to prevent these phenomena from …

Nano-modified composite coatings have illustrated a promising prospect for protecting
cement-based material due to their excellent functional properties. This paper reviews the …

To guarantee concrete serving in harsh and corrosive environments, a novel functional
organic–inorganic composite coating with high adhesion and barrier performance was …

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