A self-healing cement developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory can outperform conventional concrete, offering a potentially pollution-preventing technology for the growing geothermal ...

Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have developed a self-healing cement that could repair itself in as little as a few hours. Wellbore cement for geothermal applications has a ...

Researchers have discovered how to make concrete from recycled glass - by turning it back into sand. A team from Australia were able to turn the waste into a replacement for industrial flooring - ...

Polymer concrete, a composite material in which a polymeric binder replaces hydraulic cement, exhibits rapid strength development, low permeability and exceptional resistance to chemical and ...

Global cement manufacturing accounts for approximately 8-9% of human-made carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and about 2-3% of global energy consumption, highlighting the urgent need for longer-lasting ...

Concrete is a mix of cement, an aggregate such as gravel, and water. For added strength, steel fibers are often added. Now, scientists are claiming that a new type of fiber-reinforced concrete could ...
