Utilization plasters with superabsorbent admixture to moderate moisture level in constructions

Lime-Pozzolan Plasters with Enhanced Thermal Capacity

A new type of lightweight plaster with the thermal capacity enhanced by PCM (Phase Change Material) addition is analyzed. The basic physical characteristics, namely the bulk density, matrix density, total open porosity, and pore size distribution are measured at first. For description of mechanical properties, compressive strength measurements are done. The thermal properties are characterized ...

3D Simulation of Heat and Moisture Diffusion in Constructions

The simulation of heat and moisture transfer represents an essential resource in designing energy efficient buildings. In this paper a time-dependent wall model, consisting of several homogeneous domains, with third-type boundary conditions imposed on the surfaces, is implemented in the COMSOL Multiphysics environment. Temperature and moisture content is calculated inside the construction for d...

Superabsorbent Polymers and Superabsorbent Polymer Composites

This article briefly describes the general aspects and cross-linking polymerization of superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) and superabsorbent polymer composites (SAPCs). Research and development of SAPs has become very active after the Northern Region Laboratory of the United States Department of Agriculture invented the first SAP, used as a soil conditioner. Based on the advancements in organic/ino...

the verbal constructions in azari (harzani dialect)

most of the verbal constructions of harzani dialect have got inflectional affixes. the majority of the constructions are made up vy adding a specific verbal affix to the verbal stem (infinitive without infinitive marker). only a few number of them is formed by adding a verbal affix to the past participle of the verb. there are specific rules for the formation of different verbal types. there is...
