The use of hydrophobicity and pozzolanic reactivity of the PMHS/nanosilica hybrid composites on the water absorption of cement mortar

TL;DR: In this paper, a silica-based organic and inorganic hybrid composites (polymethylhydrosiloxane/nanosilica, PMHS/NS) were synthesized for surface treatment and their performances on hardened cement-based material were determined by measurements of the water absorption rate, water contact angle, and resistance to detachment by rain-washing.

Mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes

TL;DR: A variety of outstanding experimental results on the elucidation of the elastic properties of carbon nanotubes are fast appearing as discussed by the authors, which are based mainly on the techniques of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to determine the Young's moduli of single-wall nanotube bundles and multi-walled nanotubels.

Microstructure of cement mortar with nano-particles

TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanical properties of nano-Fe2O3 and nano-SiO2 cement mortars were experimentally studied and the experimental results showed that the compressive and flexural strengths measured at the 7th day and 28th day of the cement mortar mixed with the nano-particles were higher than that of a plain cement mortar.
