Analysis of the Impact and Mechanism of Polyacrylate-Based Composite Paste on the Performance of Recycled Aggregate.

This study developed three composite slurries for coating recycled aggregate by incorporating polyacrylate emulsion, fly ash, and gypsum into a cement-based mixture. The filling and pozzolanic effects of fly ash help to improve microcracks in the recycled aggregates. The polyacrylate emulsion forms a strong bonding layer between the cement matrix and the aggregates, enhancing the interfacial bond strength.

The Influence Mechanism of Interfacial Characteristics between CSH and Montmorillonite on the Strength Properties of Cement-Stabilized Montmorillonite Soil.

To elucidate the impact mechanism of the interfacial characteristics of Calcium Silicate Hydrate gel (CSH)-Montmorillonite (MMT) at the nanoscale on the strength of cement-stabilized montmorillonite soil, this paper begins by examining the interfacial energy. Through Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation methods, the energy at the MMT and CSH binding interface is quantitatively calculated, and the correlation between the interfacial energy and macroscopic strength is determined in conjunction with grey relational analysis. Finally, based on the characterization results from X-ray diffraction (XRD), the accuracy and sources of deviation in the MD simulation results are discussed.
