Cement is a carbon monster — but scientists are taking a cue from seashells to make it tougher, safer, and greener.

Understanding how to leverage admixtures can mean the difference between a surface that cracks or curls and one that performs ...

The President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, has accused former Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, of demolishing his cement plant twice during his tenure. Dangote made the claim on Monday ...

Now, Northwestern’s new strategy addresses this challenge by locking away CO 2 permanently and turning it into valuable materials, which can be used to manufacture concrete, cement, plaster and paint.

Viewing the worms as 'active, polymer-like matter', researchers have now explained this surprising fact. In a crowded room, we naturally move slower than in an empty space. Surprisingly ...

This study highlights the benefits of recycled concrete powder and clay brick powder in geopolymer concrete, improving ...

The clusters hold over half their weight in CO2 to become a carbon sink. Material could replace sand in concrete and be used in other construction materials while trapping CO2. Using seawater ...

HONG KONG, March 18 (Reuters) - Polymer Capital Management, a Hong Kong-headquartered hedge fund, is launching two Japan-focused funds this year to tap into the robust demand for the world's third ...

Polymer Chemistry Communications contain novel scientific work of such importance that rapid publication is desirable. Authors should briefly indicate in a covering letter the reasons why they feel ...

Polymer synthesis, also called polymerization, is the process by which monomers (small molecules) are covalently bonded to form a (usually long) polymer chain or network. Covalent organic ...

Moreover, tandem devices achieve unassisted solar water splitting. Research now demonstrates that solution-processable polymer membranes with hydrophilic subnanometre pores can selectively extract ...

Holding half its weight in carbon dioxide, the material could replace sand in concrete and other construction materials while trapping greenhouse gas. The escalating global climate crisis has ...
