Armor S2000 is a concentrated sodium silicate densifier and surface hardener that chemically reacts below the surface to form a permanent Calcium Silicate Hydrate (CSH) structure within the pores The ...

Gelation and densification of calcium–silicate–hydrate take place during cement hydration. Both processes are crucial for the development of cement strength, and for the long-term evolution of ...

HOUSTON, Jan. 3 (UPI) --Calcium silicate hydrate, or C-S-H, accounts for the strength of cement and cement-based materials. It is the component of cement paste that holds concrete together.

"When researchers think of nanomaterial reinforcements for concrete, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) come as first option," Andres Ayuela, a research scientist at the Centro de Física de Materiales in San ...

Armor L3000 is a concentrated, fast-acting lithium silicate densifier and surface hardener that chemically reacts below the surface to form a permanent Calcium Silicate Hydrate (CSH) structure within ...

This article focuses on some of the applications being developed by the Civil Engineering Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), for whom Anton Paar developed an innovative ...

Semiconductor nanoparticles such as silicon carbide (SiC), germanium and silicon have also been used for single CNT catalysis. However, these catalyst materials are usually expensive and need to be of ...
