A recent study in Construction Materials explores the use of alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) wax and AKD mixed with paraffin (AKD+PAR) to reduce cement prehydration. These treatments were found to be more effective than traditional oleic acid in preserving cement strength under accelerated aging conditions, showing promise for use in hot and humid climates.
In a recent article published in Scientific Reports, researchers developed an alginate-chitosan biopolymer composite with decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) bioink for organ-on-a-chip articular cartilage, enhancing cartilage tissue engineering with improved cell growth and differentiation.
Atomic Layer Deposition revolutionizes thin film fabrication with precise control over film properties, impacting thin film fabrication, semiconductor technology, and nanoparticle coating.
A recent study in Materials compares rinsed ilmenite mud waste (R-MUD) with fly ash (FA) as additives in Portland cement composites, focusing on microstructural and pozzolanic properties. The results reveal that R-MUD, despite lower silicon dioxide content, exhibits higher pozzolanic activity, potentially offering a sustainable alternative to FA in cement production.
