Abstract:

The influences of nano-ZrO2 (NZ), nano-TiO2 (NT), nano-Fe2O3 (NF) and nano-Al2O3 (NA) additions on properties of the fresh and hardened cement paste in comparison with the fine cement paste were experimentally studied. Mini slump and flow cone tests were conducted on fresh cement pastes. Moreover the compressive and tensile strength of hardened cement paste were measured. SEM micrographs and XRD powder patterns of hardened cement paste were analyzed in order to evaluate the effects of Nano additives on the microstructure of cement pastes. The results of this study showed that Nano-particles can improve the compressive strength of cement paste. While NA has the most influence on compressive and tensile strength of the cement paste, NZ has the least effect on the compressive and tensile strength of the hardened cement paste. It was also shown that Nano particles can increase the viscosity of fresh cement paste. The results of this study seem to indicate that the most effective Nano-particle content on mechanical properties of hardened cement paste is about 1.5% to 2% for various kinds of Nano-particles.

the influence of the neo-platonic concept of poetic imagination on wordsworth’s poetry

بر اساس نظریه افلاطون در باره شعر خلاقیت هنری مورد انتقاد قرار گرفته است. نظریه کلی در مورد شعر این بود که شعر از ظواهرتقلید میکند و نه حقیقت. چون سایه ای از حقیقت است. اما با پیدایش فلسفه نو افلاطونی، انتقاتات قبلی در مورد شعر و شاعری اصلاح شد. فلوطین در کتاب انئید، اساس خلق هنری را بر محور مُثل افلاطونی قرار داد. وی باور داشت که هنر مندان در خلق آثار هنری، تحت تاثیر مُثل افلاطونی بوده و عوالمی ...

INFLUENCE OF NANO SILICA ON PROPERTIES AND MICROSTRUCTURE OF HIGH ALUMINA ULTRA-LOW CEMENT REFRACTORY CASTABLES

Colloidal silica bonded refractory castables have been developed recently. It was found that colloidal silica is one of the best binders can substitute other binders such as cement in No Cement Castable (NCC) and Ultra Low Cement Castable (ULCC) refractories. Also composition of colloidal silica with appropriate additives resulted in a gel form which makes the initial strength. Moreover, the na...

Influence of Alumina nano particles addition on the properties of wall tiles containing slag

The use of waste materials and industrial wastes in order to protect the environment and also to reduce costs has been considered. In this study, first, the use of slag, a waste of the steel industry, on the properties of the wall tile body was investigated. For this purpose, different percentages of slag were added to the tile body and physical properties such as density, percentage of shrinka...
