Glass Composites

Glass-composite materials were prepared from the soda lime silicate (SLS) waste glass; ball clay and charcoal powder were fired to temperature of 850 °C as an effort for recycling waste glass. Various carbon contents, i.e., 1, 5, 10, 20 and 30 wt.% C were used to evaluate the effect of carbon contents on the hardness and thermal properties of glass composites. In addition, five different particles size (d0.5) of 1, 5, 20, 40 and 75 μm were used to observe the influence of particle size on the physical and mechanical properties of the glass composites. Phase analysis studies revealed the presence of quartz (ICDD: 00001-0649, 2θ = 25.6° and 35.6°), cristobalite (ICDD 00004-0379, 2θ = 22.0° and 38.4°) and wollastonite (ICDD 00002-0689, 2θ = 30.1° and 26.9°). The results showed that the optimised properties is at 1 wt.% of carbon content containing average pore size of 10 μm, with lowest porosity percentage of 1.76 %, highest Vickers microhardness of 4.6 GPa and minimum CTE. The percentage of porosity and hardness value also increased with reduction in carbon particle size.

In this work, the producing of a series of biodegradable polylactide (PLA)/polycaprolactone (PCL) microcellular foams by rapid solvent casting method was investigated and discussed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed the average pore size in the structure was around 7 μm and the final microstructure was a combination of open and closed cells. The effect of PCL segments added on the mechanical and thermal behaviors was studied. According to the results, PLA/PCL biomaterial had lower glass transition temperature (Tg) in comparison with neat PLA polymer. In addition, the tensile strength and elastic modulus became poor when PCL added in. For obtained better mechanical and thermal properties, EC-blocked polyisocyanate (EC-bp), which was synthesized from reaction of toluene 2, 4-diisocyanate with dimethylol propionic acid and trimethylolpropane followed by addition of ethyl cellosolve (EC), were introduced. It was found that the tensile strength and elastic modulus were significantly increased by addition of EC-bp, which can be explained by coupling effect occurred between PLA and PCL.

This research concentrates to the effect of changing sand proportion on the physical, mechanical and thermal properties of building wall materials (Cellular lightweight concrete). The density, water absorption and compressive strength of the 7.0 cm x 7.0 cm x 7.0 cm concrete sample were studied. It was found that there are an increase of density and a reduction of water absorption with an increase of sand content. The higher compressive strength can be confirmed by higher density and lower water absorption. The physical and mechanical properties of lightweight concrete conditions conformed to the Thai Industrial Standard 2601-2013. The phases of CaCO3 and calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) in the material indicate an important factor in thermal insulating performance.

Seepage mutation of fractured rock mass is one of the main inducements of dump slide and other disasters. Pore structure is a significant factor affecting the seepage characteristics of fractured rock mass, while particle size gradation has an important effect on the distribution of pore structure. Through the self-developed experimental system, the nonlinear seepage test on the fractured sandstones of the coalseam roof was conducted to investigate the influence of seepage pressure, porosity, and fractal dimension. Besides, the nonlinear seepage model was established by Barree–Conway theory. The results showed that, during the seepage process of fractured sandstone, there were significant nonlinear characteristics, which increased with the increase of the seepage pressure. With the increasing porosity, there was greater average pore size of fractured sandstone, stronger permeability, and weaker nonlinear seepage. The seepage characteristics approximated to that of Darcy model. However, with increasing grading fractal dimension, there were smaller average pore size of fractured sandstone, weaker permeability, and stronger nonlinear seepage. The seepage characteristics approximated to that of Forchheimer model.

Rigid polyurethane foams (RPUFs) were successfully modified with different weight ratios (0.5 wt%, 1.5 wt% and 5 wt%) of APIB-POSS and AEAPIB-POSS. The resulting foams were evaluated by their processing parameters, morphology (Scanning Electron Microscopy analysis, SEM), mechanical properties (compressive test, three-point bending test and impact strength), viscoelastic behavior (Dynamic Mechanical Analysis, DMA), thermal properties (Thermogravimetric Analysis, TGA, and thermal conductivity) and application properties (contact angle, water absorption and dimensional analysis). The results showed that the morphology of modified foams is significantly affected by the type of the filler and filler content, which resulted in inhomogeneous, irregular, large cell shapes and further affected the physical and mechanical properties of resulting materials. RPUFs modified with APIB-POSS represent better mechanical and thermal properties compared to the RPUFs modified with AEAPIB-POSS. The results showed that the best results were obtained for RPUFs modified with 0.5 wt% of APIB-POSS. For example, in comparison with unfilled foam, compositions modified with 0.5 wt% of APIB-POSS provide greater compression strength, better flexural strength and lower water absorption.

 Industrialization in developing countries has resulted in an increase in agricultural output and consequent accumulation of unmanageable agro wastes. Pollution arising from such wastes is a matter of concern for many developing nations. The aim of this study is to investigate the behavior of lightweight concrete and the utilization of sawdust as waste material in concrete. This paper focuses on the manufacturing of concrete which possess long duration heat transfer by using sawdust waste. In this research, cement to sawdust ratio of 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 by volume was prepared for sawdust concrete, and the ratio of sand was kept constant that is 1. At these ratios, the mechanical and thermal properties like density, workability, strength and heat transfer were measured after, 7, 28 and 56 days of air curing. The tests results show that with the increase in the amount of sawdust, the workability, compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength decreased. It also resulted in reduction of heat transfer of sawdust concrete. Taking into account the overall physical and mechanical properties, sawdust concrete can be used in construction technology.

Nanosilica Particle

This research article presents the mechanical and thermal properties of cement-based composite for thermal energy storage materials. The effects of nanosilica particle size and concentration determined by mixing nanosilica particle size of 50 nm, using nanosilica were of 1-5 wt%. Thermal properties coefficients were tested using a direct measuring instrument with surface probe (ISOMET2114). The influence of nanosilica on the performance, such as compressive strength, bulk density, thermal conductivity, volume heat capacity and thermal diffusivity of hardened composite cement pastes were studied for future solar thermal energy materials with better performance. According to the development of thermal storage materials and their application environment requirement in solar thermal power, the specimens were subjected to heat at 350, and 900°C. It were observed that, before heating, the compressive strength is optimized at nanosilica amount of 4wt% at the age of 28 days. Moreover, after heating at 350 oC and 900°C, the thermal conductivity and volume heat capacity of the cement paste enriched with nanosilica were significantly lesser than that of the before heating one.

The Impact

The use of bio-based concretes performed with lignocellulosic aggregates constitute an interesting solution for reducing the energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and CO2 generated by the building sector. Indeed, bio-based materials could be used as an alternative of traditional materials such as expended polystyrene and mineral resources (e.g. glass and rock wools) for insulation. Furthermore, these bio-based concretes are known for their interesting insulation properties, indeed they allow to enhance thermal properties of buildings and enables moisture management which lead to design efficient building materials. For this purpose, bio-based concrete using rice straw as aggregate are studied in this present work. The impact of the characteristics of rice straw particle (particle size distribution, bulk density, and water absorption capacity, etc.) on both the mechanical and thermal properties of the bio-based concrete are investigated. Five formulations of rice straw concrete are examined, compared and then classified in terms of insulation properties and mechanical properties. The assessments are based on the measurement of density and thermal conductivity. The variation of compressive strength in function of the characteristics (mean particle length) of rice straw particle are assessed and discussed. The investigation covers also the porosity and density. Tests are also carried out on agricultural by-products with a view to highlight their chemical, physical and structural proprieties. The results show that the use of large particles with low water absorption capacity induce lighter concretes with the density between 339 and 505 kg/m3 and lead to a high compressive strength with a high mechanical deformability. Furthermore, it appears that an increase in the average length of rice straw particle lead to decrease of thermal conductivity of bio-based concretes. It varies from 0.062 to 0.085 W/(m.K).
