Multi-layered cement-hydrogel composite with high toughness, low thermal conductivity, and self-healing capability

Yuan Chen et al.

Summary: By preparing a rigid layered skeleton of cement slurry and introducing flexible polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel into the unidirectional pores, a multi-layered cement-based composite with significantly improved toughness was achieved. The toughening mechanism involves stretching of hydrogels at the nano-scale and deflections of micro-cracks at the interfaces, which prevent stress concentration and dissipate energy. Furthermore, this cement-hydrogel composite exhibits low thermal conductivity, low density, high specific strength, and self-healing properties, making it suitable for applications such as thermal insulation, seismic high-rise buildings, and long-span bridges.

Experimental study on interfacial damage mechanisms of polymer-concrete composite structure

Chengchao Guo et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the interface bonding characteristics of polymer-concrete structures through direct shear tests and the use of acoustic emission and digital image correlation techniques. The results show that the shear failure occurs mainly at the interface, and there are three stages of acoustic emission activities during the failure process. The interface damage between polymer and concrete can be qualitatively predicted based on the increase of accumulated acoustic emission ringing count and energy. The interfacial failure mainly occurs in the cement mortar layer near the interface.

Experimental investigations on the mechanical properties and damage detection of carbon nanotubes modified crumb rubber concrete

Suliman Khan et al.

Summary: This study presents the mechanical characterization and cracking monitoring of a modified crumb rubber (MCR) concrete design mix reinforced with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) using the acoustic emission (AE) technique. The results showed that the bridging effect of MWCNTs and MCR in the concrete mix improved the flexural and compressive strengths by 18.3% and 26.5%, respectively. The MWCNT-MCR concrete exhibited improved ductility, axial strain, and toughness compared to the reference specimens.

A deep learning potential applied in tobermorite phases and extended to calcium silicate hydrates

Yang Zhou et al.

Summary: Based on first-principle simulations, machine learning potentials (MLPs) are used to accurately predict complex material systems and efficiently perform molecular dynamics (MD) computations. In this study, MLPs of different lengths of tobermorite are constructed using the Deep Potential (DP) method and their accuracy and efficiency are assessed through MD simulations. The results show that MLPs exhibit high consistency with ab initio MD simulations in terms of accuracy, while being 2 to 3 orders of magnitude faster. Additionally, the MLPs are applied to the calcium silica hydrates system, and the calculated structure and mechanical properties align well with experimental results, demonstrating the feasibility and accuracy of MLPs for larger scale MD simulations on cement-based materials.

Mechanical properties and material characterization of cement mortar incorporating CNT-engineered polyvinyl alcohol latex

Gengying Li et al.

Summary: This study explores the potential of incorporating nano-engineered polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) latex in cement mortars to overcome their brittle nature. Hydroxyl carbon nanotubes (CNT-OH) were used to enhance the mechanical properties of PVA latex. The results showed that CNT-OH/PVA latex significantly improved the tensile and compressive strength, flexural strength, fracture toughness, and fracture energy of cement mortars. This improvement was attributed to the uniform dispersion of CNT-OH/PVA latex, acceleration of hydration, chemical and hydrogen bonds between CNT-OH/PVA latex and cementitious matrix, and prevention of cracking and refinement of microstructure in mortars. These findings provide valuable insights for the design of high-performance cementitious materials.
