Calcium phosphate precipitation obtained from aqueous solutions at room and body temperatures and pH 5.5-7.5 were investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), transmission electron diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM ...
Some cementitious materials cured at elevated temperature may expand on subsequent exposure to moisture. Concern has been expressed as to the relevance of small laboratory specimens to field concretes, in particular due to the potential leaching of ions in ...
Structure and morphology of solid particles in precipitation from aqueous solutions correlate with formation (solution) conditions and thus reflect the growth mechanism. Calcium phosphate precipitation obtained from dilute aqueous solutions at room and bod ...
Piezoelectric coatings of PbZrxTi1-xO3 (PZT) were deposited on standard telecommunication fibers. The PZT coatings were produced by reactive de magnetron sputtering of metal targets in pure oxygen atmosphere. The deposition was carried out at substrate tem ...
This paper presents the results of experimental studies of the micromechanical behavior of concrete under different loading conditions. Cylindrical specimens of normal- and high-strength concrete were tested under uniaxial and confined compression. Cracks ...
The alkali-silica reaction in opal was studied in the SEM with backscattered electrons, combined with quantitative image analysis, and also in an electron microprobe. A system of cracks was observed in the bands of gel in the opal, ahead of narrow fingers ...
Cement pastes were cured at 80°C and examined by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray microanalysis and X-ray diffraction immediately or after storage in water for various periods at 20°C. Ettringite began to form a few days after the heat treatment, as ver ...
Fragments of a Portland cement clinker were examined by scanning electron microscopy with backscattered electron imaging and X-ray microanalysis. In some, the microstructure was normal, but in others varying proportions of material having features characte ...
Hardened cement paste in concrete wastes can be a valuable precursor material for the production of recycled cements. In the reported study, X-ray diffraction data of cementitious materials obtained by thermal processing of hardened pastes were quantitativ ...
Microcrystalline hydrogenated silicon films (muc-Si:H) have been deposited by a high current DC plasma in argon-silane-hydrogen mixtures at growth rates up to 10 nm/s and at substrate temperatures below 500 degreesC. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray dif ...
