Use of Nanoporous Thin Films to Improve Aggregate-Cement Interface
Project Information
Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-10-0083
Project Abstract:
Synthesize sol-gel nanoaluminosilicates with various Si/Al ratios and characterize the effect on hydration of Alite and Portland cement. Develop characterization procedures for characterizing paste samples, and tailor solubility of nanoaluminosilicate thin films through inorganofunctionalization to optimize performance.
Goals
Design new types of concrete nanoadditives to enhance the long-term mechanical performance of cementitious materials.
