2D Corrugated Magnesium Carboxyphosphonate Materials: Topotactic Transformations and Interlayer “Decoration” with Ammonia
(American Chemical Society, 2012-06-29)In this paper we report the synthesis and structural characterization of the 2D layered coordination polymer Mg(BPMGLY)(H2O)2 (BPMGLY = bis-phosphonomethylglycine, (HO3PCH2)2N(H)COO2−). The Mg ion is found in a slightly ... -
4D nanoimaging of early age cement hydration.
(Springer Nature, 2023-05-08)Despite a century of research, our understanding of cement dissolution and precipitation processes at early ages is very limited. This is due to the lack of methods that can image these processes with enough spatial ... -
A Self-Folding Polymer Film Based on Swelling Metal–Organic Frameworks
(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co., 2018-10-23)Herein, we exploit the well-known swelling behaviour of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) to create a selffolding polymer film. Namely, we show that incorporating crystals of the flexible MOF MIL-88A into a polyvinylidene ... -
Accuracy in Cement Hydration Investigations: Combined X-ray Microtomography and Powder Diffraction Analyses
(MDPI, 2021-11-17)Cement hydration is a very complex set of processes. The evolution of the crystalline phases during hydration can be accurately followed by X-ray powder diffraction data evaluated by the Rietveld method. However, accurate ... -
Accuracy in Rietveld quantitative phase analysis: a comparative study of strictly monochromatic Mo and Cu radiations
(Willey online Library, 2016)This study reports 78 Rietveld quantitative phase analyses using Cu K 1, Mo K 1 and synchrotron radiations. Synchrotron powder diffraction has been used to validate the most challenging analyses. From the results for ... -
Alite-belite-ye'elimite cements: Effect of dopants on the clinker phase composition and properties
(2018-10-30)Clinkers with alite-belite-ye'elimite (ABY) are considered as eco-friendly cements. Clinkering (2 Kg) of two types of ABY clinkers was optimized: standard-ABY, with CaF2 and ZnO as dopants (32.6 wt% alite, 30.4 wt% β-C2S ... -
Alternative non-Portland binders
(Mineralogical Society of America, 2022)A background on non-Portland cementitious binders is presented, followed by a review of the key alternative binders that are currently of interest. The mineralogy of these cements is described, along with phases present ... -
Aluminum Hydroxide Gel Characterization within a Calcium Aluminate Cement Paste by Combined Pair Distribution Function and Rietveld Analyses
(Elsevier, 2017-06)There are many commercially important multiphase materials which contain amorphous phases, such as cement pastes, porcelains, glass-ceramics or pharmaceutical compounds. However, the analysis of amorphous phase(s) within ... -
Aluminum-rich belite sulfoaluminate cements: clinkering and early age hydration
(Elsevier, 2009)Belite sulfoaluminate (BSA) cements have been proposed as environmentally friendly building materials, as their production may release up to 35% less CO2 into the atmosphere when compared to ordinary Portland cements. ... -
Amorphous determination in calcium sulfoaluminate materials by external and internal methods
(ICE Publishing, 2014)External standard methodology has been successfully applied to quantify the known amounts of amorphous component that are increasingly added to cement-related materials. The consistency and accuracy of the methodology were ... -
Assessment of ATR-FTIR spectroscopy with multivariate analysis to investigate the binding mechanisms of Ag and TiO2 nanoparticles to Chelex®-100 or Metsorb™ for the DGT technique
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-01-09)Studying nanomaterials' ecotoxicology is not new but there are still gaps in our understanding of their fate in the environment. A major challenge is lack of reliable tools to measure available concentrations of nanoparticles ... -
Assessment of the quantitative accuracy of Rietveld/XRD analysis of crystalline and amorphous phases in fly ash
(2017)An internal standard method based on Rietveld/XRD whole-pattern fitting analysis of fly ash is used to assess the quantitative accuracy to determine its crystalline and amorphous phases under various conditions such as ... -
Belite cements and their activation
(Elsevier, 2020-11)Belite cements, BCs, containing mainly belite, alite and calcium aluminates, are currently used as low heat cements. These binders produce high amounts of C–S–H gel and have very good durability properties which are reviewed. ... -
Belite clinkers with increasing aluminium content: effect of calcium aluminates on calcium silicate hydration
(Elsevier, 2022)Belite cements (BCs) could have advantages over Portland cements concerning durability, low heat development and the use of less demanding raw materials. The activation of BCs by sulfur addition at the clinkering stage and ... -
Belite hydration at high temperature and pressure by in situ synchrotron powder diffraction
(2020-10-16)Portland cements are currently used as Oil‐Well‐Cements for the sheath between the metal casing and the borehole. At high pressures and temperatures, the resulting C-S-H gel(s) is partly unstable and it can react to give ... -
