Novel cements: low energy, low carbon cements
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Sustainability and the UK cement industry Traditional Portland cement-based concrete provides the foundation for the built environment. Buildings constructed appropriately and imaginatively from this material can and do exhibit an impressive array of properties [1] especially those that have been designed to optimise the thermal mass of concrete [2]. This type of concrete building is expected to adapt best to the UK's changing climate [3, 4].

DIAGENESIS AND RESERVOIR QUALITY EVOLUTION OF SHELF-MARGIN SANDSTONES IN PEARL RIVER MOUTH BASIN, SOUTH CHINA SEA
A study of the diagenetic evolution of sandstones from Panyu low-uplift in the Pearl River Mouth Basin was carried out to unravel the controls on shelf margin sandstone reservoir quality. The reservoir rocks, Oligocene volcanic clastic sandstones of the Zhuhai Formation, have a burial depth of 2765 to 3440 m. 70 samples were studied using the granulometric analyses, X-ray diffraction (XRD) anal...
متن کاملDetecting the Thermal Properties of Bone Cement by Temperature Sensor
Polymethylmethacrylate-based (PMMA) bone cements containing functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were prepared, and the thermal properties of the resultant nanocomposite cements were characterized in accordance with the international standard for acrylic resin cements. The aim of this study was to determine the peak temperatures during the polymerization reaction in PMMA bone cement by thermo...
متن کاملOsteoclastic differentiation and resorption is modulated by bioactive metal ions Co2+, Cu2+ and Cr3+ incorporated into calcium phosphate bone cements
Biologically active metal ions in low doses have the potential to accelerate bone defect healing. For successful remodelling the interaction of bone graft materials with both bone-forming osteoblasts and bone resorbing osteoclasts is crucial. In the present study brushite forming calcium phosphate cements (CPC) were doped with Co2+, Cu2+ and Cr3+ and the influence of these materials on osteocla...
متن کاملResearch Article In Vitro and In Vivo Response to Low-Modulus PMMA-Based Bone Cement
The high stiffness of acrylic bone cements has been hypothesized to contribute to the increased number of fractures encountered after vertebroplasty, which has led to the development of low-modulus cements. However, there is no data available on the in vivo biocompatibility of any low-modulus cement. In this study, the in vitro cytotoxicity and in vivo biocompatibility of two types of low-modul...
