Article Synopsis
- * This study focuses on incorporating varying percentages of bio-based polyurethane (PU) into cementitious mortar, with 2% PU showing impressive gains in compressive strength, flexural strength, and initial flow performance after 28 days.
- * The research demonstrates that bio-based PU not only improves the mechanical properties of cementitious mortars but also establishes strong interfacial bonds, suggesting its potential as an eco-friendly option for industrial flooring applications.
Semiconducting nanoparticles (SNPs) have garnered significant attention for their role in photocatalysis technology, offering a cost-effective and highly efficient method for breaking down organic dyes. Of particular significance within SNP-based photocatalysis are tunable band gap TiO nanoparticles (NPs), which demonstrate remarkable enhancement in photocatalytic efficiency. In the present work, we introduce an approach for the synthesis of TiO NPs using kappa-carrageenan (κ-carrageenan), not just as a reducing and stabilizing agent but as a dopant for the resulting TiO NPs.
