Commercially available conductive inks are typically made up of precious metal nanoparticles, such as gold (Au) and silver (Ag). Thus, cheaper metals like copper (Cu) are currently being explored as alternative material. Though Cu has a comparable conductivity to that of Ag, they tend to oxidize easily when exposed to air and water, which could limit their application. In this work, oxidation-stable Cu nanoparticles with mean diameter as small as 57 nm were prepared by simple electroless deposition in water. Food-grade gelatin was used as stabilizer, which makes the process more economical and environment-friendly. In situ monitoring of mixed potential was carried out during synthesis to understand the kinetics of the reaction. The mixed potential of the solution shifted negatively as the amount of gelatin was increased. This suggests faster reduction rate.

Based on the low-field NMR, this study inveitigated bleeding property of the fresh cement pastes mixed with various gypsum dosage, specific area of cement and water reducers. Results showed that the gypsum dosage between 3 % and 5 % will cause an decrease bleeding and a lower bleeding velocity, while a 1 % gypsum dosage will increase the bleeding as a function of time. The increase of the cement surface will lead to a less bleeding rate. This can be explained that the finer particle will contribute to the packing which will form a low permeability of the cement paste, as a result less bleeding water is observed. The PCEs-made sample has smaller hot zone area which indocated the PCEs has good bleeding stability when varing water cement ratio. Furthermore, bying comparing with the NPE, it was found the ACS type water reducer has higher bleeding sensitivity when high water cement ratios were used.

This note describes an autoclave chamber developed and constructed by Anton Paar and its application for in situ experiments under hydrothermal conditions. Reactions of crystalline phases can be studied by successive in situ measurements on a conventional laboratory X-ray diffractometer with Bragg–Brentano geometry at temperatures <483 K and saturated vapour pressure <2 MPa. Variations in the intensity of X-ray diffraction reflections of both reactants and products provide quantitative information for studying the reaction kinetics of both dissolution and crystal growth. Feasibility is demonstrated by studying a cementitious mixture used for autoclaved aerated concrete production. During a period of 5.7 h at 466 K and 1.35 MPa, the crystallization of torbermorite and the partial consumption of quartz were monitored.
