Even if cement is a well-consolidated material, the chemistry of cement (and the chemistry
inside cement) remains very complex and still non-obvious. What is sure is that the hydration …

Nanomaterials (NMs) use in building materials (BMs) has still not been widely explored,
despite its boundless potential in develo** novel, smart, eco-efficient and high …

There are many factors that affect the compressive strength of carbon nanotubes/cementious
composites. However, there is a lack of comprehensive research on the effect of various …

Pulsating heat pipes (PHP) use two-phase flows to transport heat between evaporators and
condensers. The performance of PHP largely depends on the thermal conductivity of the …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are of particular interest because of their ability to enhance the
mechanical strength in the material; however, processing difficulties of CNTs often restrict …

The incorporation of carbon nanotubes into cementitious composites increases their
compressive and flexural strength, as well as their electrical and thermal conductivity …

Surface-inert carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exhibit poor interfacial compatibility with bio-oils and
are prone to aggregation and precipitation which hinders their lubricity and anti-wear …

The detection of toxic gases including NO 2 has a great impact on the environment. To
address sustainability issues in many sectors, including the energy sector, there is a …
