Carbonation of low carbon binders

Wioletta Soja

To reduce the impact of the embodied energy and of the carbon dioxide emissions of concrete, the use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in the cement industry has become a common practice. However, the practical experience on such cements is li ...

The Effect of Material Fresh Properties and Process Parameters on Buildability and Interlayer Adhesion of 3D Printed Concrete

The advent of digital concrete fabrication calls for advancing our understanding of the interaction of 3D printing with material rheology and print parameters, in addition to developing new measurement and control techniques. Thixotropy is the main challen ...

Heterotetracenes: Flexible Synthesis and in Silico Assessment of the Hole Transport Properties

Jérôme Waser, Kevin Sivula, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Felipe Andres Saenz Padilla, Xavier Adrian Jeanbourquin, Ganna Gryn'ova, Yifan Li

Thienoacenes and furoacenes are among the most frequent molecular units found in organic materials. The efficient synthesis of morphologically different heteroacenes and the rapid determination of their solid-state and electronic properties are still chall ...

Predicting Partitioning and Diffusion Properties of Nonpolar Chemicals in Biotic Media and Passive Sampler Phases by GC x GC

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Deedar Nabi

The chemical parameters needed to explain and predict bioavailability, biodynamics, and baseline toxicity are not readily available for most nonpolar chemicals detected in the environment. Here, we demonstrate that comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromat ...

Contrasting processes drive alpha and beta taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity of orthopteran communities in grasslands

François Gillet, Bertrand Fournier

Taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversities can respond differently to biotic and abiotic filters. However, biodiversity management tends to focus on a single index, generally taxonomic diversity, assuming a strong positive correlation among biodive ...

Demonstration and Characterization of Ladder-Type Conjugated Polymer Photoanode for Direct Light-Driven Water Oxidation

Pauline Bornoz

Energy production is not only a scientific challenge. It also has implications on human and animal health, global environment, and international politics and economics. In order to reduce these effects, the development of a new clean and renewable method i ...

Impedance spectroscopy study of carbon nanotube–glass microfiber composites

Thomas Maeder

The method of fabricating composites composed of a glass micro ber matrix and the conductive nano bers is proposed. The nano bers incorporating single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and an organic material are spread over the surface of glass micro bers ...

Associative interplay of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa QS40) with nitrogen fertilizers improves sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) productivity and fertility of aridisol

Alexandre Buttler, Luca Bragazza, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Muhammad Saleem Arif, Muhammad Riaz

The environmental and economic impacts of chemical fertilizer have encouraged farmers to integrate them with organic materials, an important nutrient management strategy for sustainable agriculture production. In the present study, we conducted field exper ...
