Abstract This study explores the valorization of ceramic waste (CW) and waste tire particles in the development of eco-friendly cementitious tiles for outdoor roof shielding applications. CW, sourced from industrial bypr...

Aims: The aims were to assess the influence of tibial bone mineral density (BMD) and cement viscosity on cement mantle thickness in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and to determine whether BMD is a more dominant factor th...

The management and operation of the power system would be significantly enhanced if accurate prior knowledge of power exchanges were provided, which could provide valuable insights into the system and help predict the re...

Abstract Calcium aluminate cement (CAC) is a suitable source of tetrahedral aluminum, which reacts with tetrahedral silicon from water glass (aqueous sodium or potassium silicate solution) in an exothermic reaction, form...

Background: Conventional glass ionomer cement (GIC) is widely used as a restorative base and liner owing to its chemical adhesion to dentine, fluoride release, and favourable biocompatibility. Nevertheless, its intrinsic...

Aim: This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of cemented versus cementless femoral stems in patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures.Material and Methods: This study incl...

Objective: To assess how resin cement viscosity and thickness influence the static shear bond strength (s-SBS) of adhesively bonded lithium disilicate ceramic. Methods: Cylindrical lithium disilicate samples were prepare...

Abstract Background Nanosilver fluoride (NSF) has emerged as a promising alternative to silver diamine fluoride (SDF), addressing its major drawback of tooth discoloration. Incorporating silver nanoparticles, NSF retains...

Steel fiber (SF) cement mortar, renowned for its dual advantages of strength and toughness, is widely used in construction, transportation, and other engineering fields. However, in actual service, it often faces challen...

Background: Distal femoral megaprosthetic reconstruction is a standard limb-salvage procedure after tumor resection. This study aimed to evaluate implant survival and associated factors, the incidence of mechanical failu...

Recycling of construction waste is essential for sustainable cement-based materials, yet the variable composition of recycled autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) powder pose significant challenges when used in grouting app...

Industrial symbiosis offers a critical pathway for advancing resource circularity and energy efficiency in hard-to-abate sectors. As the steel and cement industries undergo profound structural transformation toward low-c...

Interlocking concrete pavers (ICPs) require substantial cement consumption, resulting in considerable embodied carbon emissions, while the regional availability of conventional supplementary cementitious materials is bec...

ObjectiveSuperfine cement-based grouting materials generally suffer from limitations including high bleeding rates, unfavourable rheological properties, poor stability, and strength retrogression. These issues can be mit...

Aims: Cementless femoral fixation is widely used in total hip arthroplasty (THA), with increasing interest in shorter femoral component designs. These femoral components aim to preserve proximal bone, promote physiologic...

This study prepared a series of NH2-MIL-125(Ti) samples (denoted as NMT-x%) by tuning the methanol fraction (20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%) in a mixed methanol/N,N-dimethylformamide (MeOH/DMF) solvent system, and investigated t...

Abstract Achieving sustainability in resource-intensive industries such as cement production requires a transition away from synthetic plastic packaging toward biodegradable alternatives that reduce long-term environment...

IntroductionThis study investigated shear bond strengths of conventional and self-adhesive resin cements bonded to lithium disilicate at different curing and setting times, and examined pH changes during setting to asses...

Abstract Jurassic sandy mudstone formations are common in the Ordos mining area, and the diagenetic period is relatively late. The lithological characteristics and creep mechanical properties of this formation form the b...

Abstract Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) are ductile cement-based materials developed to overcome the brittleness of conventional concrete by exhibiting strain-hardening behaviour and improved crack control unde...

This Effect of Nano-carbon additives on mechanical performance and durability of cementitious composites in oi terms of static and dynamic modulus is studied. A Nano carbon powder was admixed in 5%, 10% and 15 % levels a...

Introduction Early open fracture management aims to minimise the risk of complications. For the most severe open fracture wounds, multiple irrigation and debridement surgeries are required to overcome severe wound contam...

Early carbonation curing is an effective approach to mitigate the environmental impacts of concrete. This is particularly valid when coupled with other strategies, such as substituting cement with alternative low-carbon ...
