Purdue University researchers have 3D-printed cement paste, a key ingredient of the concrete and mortar used to build various elements of infrastructure, that gets tougher under pressure like the ...

The production of concrete contributes up to 10 percent of the world's carbon dioxide, and Palkovic hopes to reduce this environmental impact through his research of cement paste, the matrix of ...

Researchers at Princeton University have developed a cement paste that is 5.6 times stronger than cement, mortar, and other conventional cement-based construction materials, reports Interesting ...

The basic ingredients for concrete include sand, gravel and rocks mixed with a cement powder and water-based paste. It sounds as easy as whipping up cake mix, but the actual process is much more ...

The Princeton team has developed innovative composites inspired by nacre, utilizing conventional construction materials like Portland cement paste combined with a limited amount of polymer.

Youngblood and his team found that by increasing the heat of hydration, the chemically modified nanocellulose reacted to improve the behavior of cement paste in a variety of chemical reactions. “This ...
