The CSH gel is an elusive material. Its variable composition and disordered nature
complicate a complete characterization of its atomic structure, and the elaboration of models …

Composites are commonly used in engineering applications. One example is the polymer-
cement composites, where the polymers are used to modify/reinforce the cement mortar and …

This paper devises a novel method for the adjustment of the pore structure and the hydration
of cement to improve the electromagnetic wave absorption of the cementitious composites …

Based on the datasets of first-principle simulations, machine learning potentials (MLPs) can
achieve both accurate predictions of complex material systems and high-efficiency …

As a low-carbon cementitious material, the supersulfated cement (SSC) is composed of a
thimbleful of cement clinkers and massive industry by-products, i. e: gypsum and slag …

Supersulfated cement (SSC), mainly composed of solid wastes, is a highly promising low-
carbon binding material, however, the application of SSC is still limited due to inherent …

The mechanical properties of calcium-silicate-hydrates (C–S–H) directly affect the
performance of cement-based materials. C–S–H spans ranging from nanometers to …

The aim of the study was to systematically investigate effect of the particle size of fly ash on
the resistance to chloride ion penetration of concrete as well as the workability and …

The research on the strength, deformation and failure process of materials should be
implemented on the atomic scale to study the interaction between atoms. Molecular …

Abstract Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) emulsion is commonly used in cement-based materials to
obtain higher performance. The present work investigates the interaction mechanisms …
