Report of RILEM TC 267-TRM phase 2: optimization and testing of the robustness of the R3 reactivity tests for supplementary cementitious materials
Karen Scrivener, Alastair Thomas Matthew Marsh, Ruben Anton Snellings, Mohsen Ben Haha, François Henri Avet, Shashank Bishnoi, Xuerun Li, Pawel Tadeusz Durdzinski, Diana Londoño Zuluaga, Anuj Parashar
The results of phase 1 of an interlaboratory test, coordinated by the RILEM TC 267-TRM "Tests for Reactivity of Supplementary Cementitious Materials" showed that the R-3 (rapid, relevant, reliable) test method, by measurement of heat release or bound water ...
SPRINGER2022Design of experiments to investigate multi-additive cellulose nanocrystal films
Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) suspensions can self-assemble into chiral nematic films upon the slow evaporation of water. These films are brittle, as indicated by their fracturing instead of plastically deforming once they are fully elastically deformed. Thi ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022Production of Additive‐Free Amorphous Nanoparticles with a SAW‐Based Microfluidic Spray‐Dryer
Esther Amstad, Huachuan Du, Mathias Steinacher, Duncan Christophe Emmanuel Gilbert
Spray‐drying is a widely employed, cost‐effective process to formulate solutions into solid particles of controlled sizes and compositions. In addition, this process can also offer control over the structure of spray‐dried particles: if the solvent is evap ...
2019Thin Hydrogel-Elastomer Multilayer Encapsulation for Soft Electronics
Stéphanie Lacour, Aaron Powers Gerratt, Jennifer Mary Adrienne Alice Macron
In the exciting race to design and engineer biointegrated and body-like electronic systems, many efforts concentrate on the integration of hydrogels in electronic assemblies. The versatility of hydrogels chemistry combined with their tissue-mimicking prope ...
WILEY2019Periodic cellular aluminum structures for space applications
Mass is one of the crucial parameters for hardware that has to be placed in Earth orbit. Due to its harsh environment, a material with highest specific properties is desired to achieve space missions. The rise and development of new technologies, such as a ...
EPFL2018The Role of Anisotropy on the Volumetric Behaviour of Opalinus Clay upon Suction Change
Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Eleonora Crisci, Alberto Minardi
An experimental investigation to analyse the anisotropic volumetric response of shaly and sandy facies of Opalinus Clay upon suction variations is presented. Obtained results demonstrate the different behaviour of the tested facies to a wetting-drying cycl ...
Springer2017Mechanisms and modeling of pathogen fate in pilot scale nutrient recovery reactors
Loïc Decrey, Simon Schindelholz, Manfred Schoger, Ariane Schertenleib, Timothy R. Julian
Due to its high nutrient content, source-separated urine can be processed into marketable liquid or solid fertilizers. The Valorisation of Urine Nutrients in Africa (VUNA) project developed and tested pilot-scale nitrification/distillation and struvite (Mg ...
2017A reassessment of mercury intrusion porosimetry by comparison with H-1 NMR relaxometry
Karen Scrivener, Arnaud Charles Albert Muller
This paper shows how MIP measurements can give an accurate picture of the capillary porosity of cement pastes. Regions of the intrusion curves can be identified corresponding to capillary or gel pores. The amount of capillary pores is in excellent agreemen ...
Elsevier2017Fabrication of 2D Material Based NEMS Resonators
2D materials such as graphene, MoS2 and phosphorene are promising candidates for resonating mechanical sensors due to excellent tunable electrical/- mechanical properties, low masses, and maximal surface to volume ratios. Mechanical resonators based on sup ...
2017Anisotropic Volumetric Response of Shales upon Suction Changes
Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Alberto Minardi
Anisotropic fabric and volumetric response to suction changes represent two main features of shales, which are involved in several engineering applications. However, a comprehensive understanding of the interaction between these two aspects is still missin ...
