Performance Enhancement of Polycondensate‐Based Superplasticizers by Encapsulation

A cost‐effective and robust encapsulation system for chemical admixtures with delayed release mechanisms for construction materials like dry mix mortars is presented. Based on supplementary cementitious materials, a superplasticizer was encapsulated in matrix‐based encapsulations. Subsequently, the particle characteristics of the agglomerates and the release behavior of the superplasticizer were examined. The main objective of this research was to prove the functionality of such encapsulations for the future use in construction materials. The results obtained indicate that the performance of construction chemicals could be improved by encapsulation and controlled release for the future development of new construction materials. Furthermore, material characteristics of the supplementary cementitious material like the incline to excessive dusting or the materials density were improved by encapsulation.

散装预拌砂浆与传统自拌砂浆优缺点对比分析以及使用过程中需改进的几点意见

预拌砂浆作为一项绿色建材得到政府和社会的认同,预拌砂浆采用密闭容器进行运输和现场存储,以往施工现场砂浆搅拌过程中的扬尘满天飞情况可以基本杜绝,符合北京市地方标准绿色施工管理规程(DB11/513-2008)中"施工现场易飞扬细颗粒散体材料,应密闭存放"的规定。密封运输、密封储存,减少浪费,减少扬尘,真正做到文明施工;精确搅拌使用,施工质量容易控制;加快施工速度,节约成本。但是使用过程中还存在一些需改进的地方,文中详细介绍。     

Laboratory investigation of carbonated BOF slag used as partial replacement of natural aggregate in cement mortars

Direct mineral carbonation produces a material rich in carbonates and with reduced quantities of free oxides. The aim of this work was to show that such materials can be used in the construction domain. Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) slag from the steelmaking process has been traditionally seen as unfit for bounded applications due to its propensity to swelling, resulting from hydration of its high free lime content. Here, BOF slag was crushed to suitable particle sizes, carbonated in an aqueous solution of carbonic acid, and utilized to replace 50% of natural sand aggregate in cement mortars. The mechanical and chemical properties of these mortars were compared to mortars containing non-carbonated slags, and a standard cement mortar as a reference. Tests were conducted to determine mortar paste consistency and soundness, and cured mortar compressive strength and leaching tendencies. The results showed a satisfactory performance for all considered aspects (comparable with the reference) of the mortar sample containing 37.5 wt% (1.5 in 4 parts solids) carbonated BOF slag of <0.5 mm particle size.

Effect of self-healing on strength and durability of zeolite-immobilized bacterial cementitious mortar composites

There is a compelling economic incentive to develop concrete materials that can repair its own damage, increase durability and prevent structural failure. This research investigated the potential of adding two different mineral producing bacteria into two types of cementitious mortar matrix to enhance self-healing ability for autonomous crack repair. In this study, zeolite was used as a carrier material to protect bacteria in high pH environment normally exists in concrete. The spore forming ability and ureolytic activity of zeolite-immobilized bacteria were investigated in order to examine potential for producing healing compounds. The self-healing ability of bacteria incorporated normal and fiber reinforced mortars was judged based on the development of compressive strength and permeation properties of cracked specimens with age as well as micro-structural characterization of crack healing compounds using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray diffraction.

A simple and sensitive aptasensor with rolling circle amplification for viable Cronobacter sakazakii detection in powdered infant formula

Cronobacter sakazakii is a foodborne, emerging opportunistic pathogen that causes severe bacteremia, necrotizing enterocolitis, and sepsis with a mortality rate of up to 80%. In this study, we developed a simple and sensitive fluorescent turn-off aptasensor with rolling circle amplification assay for viable C. sakazakii detection in powdered infant formula. The results showed that the proposed aptasensor has good performance and specificity for detecting viable C. sakazakii in pure culture and powdered infant formula samples within 3 h. Under the optimal reaction conditions, there is a linear relationship between fluorescent intensity at 490 nm and logarithmic concentration of C. sakazakii in the range of 2.7 × 10⁵ to 2.7 × 10² cfu/mL, with a limit of detection of 2.7 × 10² cfu/mL in pure culture. The proposed aptasensor achieved a recovery of 104 to 111% in pure culture, and 96 to 107% in spiked powdered infant formula samples. The proposed aptasensor does not require complicated DNA extraction steps or antibodies, and can be performed at 37°C, making it a convenient and sensitive strategy for C. sakazakii detection.
