Shell-inspired cement 19x more flexible thanks to ‘engineered defects’
Posted by ArielTechGeek 341 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Nature is known for developing lightweight yet tough materials using limited, modest materials arranged into ingenious architecture. Take nacre, for example. More commonly known as mother of pearl, the shiny inner lining of some mollusks' shells is an organic-inorganic composite comprised of a 3D brick-and-mortar pattern made of sheets of hexagonal tablets of aragonite, a hard mineral, glued toge

'Absolute miracle' breakthrough provides recipe for zero-carbon cement
Posted by ArielTechGeek 363 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Concrete and steel production are major sources of CO2 emissions, but a new solution from Cambridge could recycle both at the same time. Throwing old concrete into steel-processing furnaces not only purifies iron but produces “reactivated cement” as a byproduct. If done using renewable energy, the process could make for completely carbon-zero cement.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTag
Long-life low-carbon concrete switches 80% of its cement for coal ash
Posted by ArielTechGeek 365 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Coal ash is abundant around coal-fired power stations. In fact, that might be considerably understating things – globally, power stations produce around 1.2 billion tonnes annually, and in Australia coal ash accounts for nearly 20% of all waste. It's a staggering figure – and it's also a safe bet that this stuff will remain abundant long into the renewable energy transition.Continue ReadingCatego
