MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:5561. [PMID: 37629852 PMCID: PMC10456383 DOI: 10.3390/ma16165561] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2023] [Revised: 07/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/02/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023]
Abstract
Wood wool panels are widely used in the construction industry as sustainable cementitious composites, but there is a growing need to replace traditional Portland cement with a binder that has a lower embodied carbon footprint. In addition, the sustainability of these panels may face serious impediments if the required amount of wood for their production needs a harvest rate higher than the rate at which the tree sources reach maturity. One solution is to use the wooden part of fast-growing plants such as hemp. However, the compounds extracted from the mixture of plants and water are the main cause of the delay observed during the hydration process of hydraulic binders in these cementitious composites. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of bio-aggregate lixiviates (hemp hurd) on the hydration kinetics of calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement as a low-embodied-carbon alternative to ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The isothermal calorimeter showed that the hemp hurd lixiviate caused a greater delay in GU's hydration process than CSA's. At a 5% concentration, the main hydration peak for GU cement emerged after 91 h, whereas for CSA cement, it appeared much earlier, at 2.5 h. XRD and TGA analysis showed that after 12 h of hydration, hydration products such as calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) and portlandite (CH) were not able to form on GU cement, indicating low hydration of silicate products. Moreover, at 5% concentration, the carbonation of ettringite was observed in CSA cement. The compressive strength values obtained from the mixes containing hemp hurd lixiviate consistently showed lower values compared to the reference samples prepared with distilled water. Furthermore, the CSA samples demonstrated superior compressive strength when compared to the GU samples. After 28 days of hydration, the compressive strength values for CSA cement were 36.7%, 63.5% and 71% higher than GU cement at a concentration of 0.5%, 2% and 5% hemp hurd lixiviate, respectively.

Abstract
Competitive adsorption of chemical admixtures onto cement is of critical importance in delivering bulk performance requirements of cement slurries employed in constructing high-performing structures, like oil wells. This challenge is complex to investigate, because of the many variables that include the heterogeneity, high pH, and ionic strength of cement fluids; the multiple crystalline phases present in unhydrated and set cement; and the high number of admixtures required to meet performance criteria in commercial operations. The purpose of this study is to relate chemical structures to relative adsorption behavior of admixtures onto cement when present together and classify such interactions as beneficial (synergistic) or detrimental (antagonistic). Adsorption characteristics of single admixtures were examined by total organic carbon analysis, FT infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, calorimetry, and UV/vis spectrophotometry. Results show that the adsorption of single chemical admixtures follows the order of monomeric hydroxycarboxylate molecule > sulfonated linear polymer > sulfonated aromatic polymer > carboxylated/sulfonated linear polymer > carboxylated branched polyether polymers. The observed adsorption behavior of polymers correlates extremely well with the order for cement hydration retardation, with carboxylated polymers being the most powerful retarders. Results correlate closely with the proposed mechanism that sulfonated polymers adsorb onto aluminate phases, presumably the tricalcium aluminate phase; and the carboxylate polymers onto silicate phases, particularly the predominant tricalcium oxysilicate phase. The hydroxycarboxylic monomeric molecule was the strongest retarder of all and has the highest adsorption level, presumably on tricalcium oxysilicate. The competitive adsorption behavior in binary mixtures was studied by monitoring the displacement of a signaling polymer by a second admixture. Results indicate that, for similar functional groups, shorter polymers are competitively more strongly adsorbed than longer chain molecules and that the shorter chain polymers were not desorbed significantly by longer chain polymer molecules. Rheological measurements correlated admixture adsorption behavior to the observed slurry fluidity.

Abstract
Cement and concrete have been important construction materials throughout human history. There is an urgent need to explore novel and untraditional cementitious materials to enhance the durability of building materials and structures in response to increased infrastructure demand worldwide. We report an exploratory study on a biocomposite cement based on a large-scale computational study using density functional theory. An explicitly solvated mixture of a mineral calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) crystal suolunite (Ca2Si2O5(OH)2·H2O) and a silicon binding peptide with amino acid sequence PRO-PRO-PRO-TRP-LEU-PRO-TYR-MET-PRO-PRO-TRP-SER is constructed using ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD). Detailed analysis on the interface structure, interatomic bonding, mechanical properties, and solvent effect of this model reveals a complex interplay of different types of covalent and ionic bonding, including ubiquitous hydrogen bonding which plays a crucial role in their properties. The use of the total bond order density (TBOD), a single quantum mechanical metric, for assessing the interfacial cohesion for this composite biocement is proposed. We find that the solvated model has a slightly larger TBOD than the dried one. These results could lead to a systematic search and rational design for different types of bioinspired and hybrid functional materials with other inorganic minerals and organic peptides.

Abstract
Saccharides are ubiquitous biomolecules, but little is known about their interaction with, and assembly at, surfaces. By combining preparative mass spectrometry with scanning tunneling microscopy, we have been able to address the conformation and self‐assembly of the disaccharide sucrose on a Cu(100) surface with subunit‐level imaging. By employing a multistage modeling approach in combination with the experimental data, we can rationalize the conformation on the surface as well as the interactions between the sucrose molecules, thereby yielding models of the observed self‐assembled patterns on the surface.

Abstract
Scallop shells subjected to heat treatment exhibit antimicrobial activity, and heated scallop-shell powder (HSSP) has recently been reported to be effective for disinfecting food. However, because the main component of these shells is calcium oxide, there is a problem that scales of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) become established on the surface of equipment used for food processing. In this study, we thus investigated whether the addition of sugar to HSSP slurry suppressed CaCO3 scale generation and whether the sugar-supplemented HSSP could be applied to the disinfection and preservation of fresh lettuce. The results showed that glucose, sucrose, and sorbitol could suppress the scale generation in HSSP slurry. However, glucose and sucrose decreased the antibacterial activity of HSSP. Since the addition of sorbitol did not affect the antibacterial activity of HSSP slurry, it was used for subsequent experiments because of its low bioavailability. Sorbitol effectively suppressed scale formation by dissolving it before the addition of HSSP. The disinfection and preservative effects of sorbitol-supplemented HSSP ( S-HSSP) treatment on lettuce did not decrease compared with those upon HSSP treatment and were almost equal to or higher than those of sodium hypochlorite treatment at 200 mg/l. The addition of sorbitol solved the major problem of scale generation by HSSP containing CaO, which contributes to expansion of usage of heated shell powder, such as HSSP, in food processing.

Abstract
This article presents a combined use of a retarder (d-gluconic acid) and an alkaline activator (sodium hydroxide) in a binder system based on ground granulated blast-furnace slag. The properties of the retarder are extending the dormant hydration period and suppressing the generation of strength-giving phases. Different retarder concentrations between 0.25 and 1.00 wt.% regulate the intensity and the period of the retardation and also the characteristics of the strength development. The activator concentration of 30 and 50 wt.% regulates the overcoming of the dormant period and thereby the solution of the slag and hence the formation of the hydration products. The research objective is to produce a mineral binder system based on two separate liquid components. The highest concentration of retarder and activator generates the highest compressive strength and mass of hydration products—after 90 days of hydration a compressive strength of more than 50 N/mm2. The main phases are calcium silicate hydrate and hydrotalcite. Generally, the combination of retarder and activator shows a high potential in the performance increase of the hydration process.

Abstract
In this contribution, the latest developments in solid state NMR are presented in the field of organic-inorganic (O/I) materials (or hybrid materials). Such materials involve mineral and organic (including polymeric and biological) components, and can exhibit complex O/I interfaces. Hybrids are currently a major topic of research in nanoscience, and solid state NMR is obviously a pertinent spectroscopic tool of investigation. Its versatility allows the detailed description of the structure and texture of such complex materials. The article is divided in two main parts: in the first one, recent NMR methodological/instrumental developments are presented in connection with hybrid materials. In the second part, an exhaustive overview of the major classes of O/I materials and their NMR characterization is presented.
