SYNERGISTIC EFFECT OF SHRINKAGE MITIGATING STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE OF FIBER-REINFORCED CEMENTITIOUS COMPOSITES
… using saturated lightweight sand (LWS) and superabsorbent polymer (SAP), and external curing. A multi-scale investigation employing these strategies was conducted to determine their effects on rheology, key mechanical properties, fiber-matrix bonding, shrinkage, microstructural …

Low-Shrinkage Fiber-Reinforced Concrete for Infrastructure Construction and Rehabilitation
… including shrinkage-reducing admixture (SRA), superabsorbent polymer (SAP), and expansive agent (EA) has a detrimental effect on mechanical performance. These classes of HPC were optimized to reduce shrinkage, enhance mechanical properties, and improve durability. The effect of fiber type …

The Hydrogel Reimagined: Gel-Derived Sponges and Sheets as Absorbents for Water, Blood, and Oil
Polymer hydrogels, i.e., crosslinked networks of polymer chains swollen in water, are well-studied materials. Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) gels that can absorb more than 100x their dry weight in water are widely used in personal hygiene products – but only in the form of microscale beads. If dry …

Development and performance of self-healing and self-immune soil-cement systems subjected to freeze-thaw cycles
… far have focused on self-healing properties in polymers and concrete, and many of them have shown promising results. However, to date there has been very little work reported on the development of effective smart systems for geotechnical applications and there is very little literature focusing …
