Article Synopsis
- This research explores the use of trachydacitic, a natural material, as aggregate in concrete for rigid pavements, focusing on two curing methods: standard water curing for 28 days and a combined method involving both water and dry oven curing.
- Four types of concrete mixtures were tested, examining mechanical, durability, and surface abrasion properties under different conditions, with significant findings related to compressive and flexural strengths.
- Results indicated that the combined curing method enhanced strength and durability against freeze-thaw cycles while slightly decreasing resistance to abrasion; trachydacitic aggregate in powdered form showed promise for high-strength concrete applications in road construction.
The article presents a very simple method of synthesis and application of a halogen and formaldehyde free, P, S and Si-containing flame retardant for the durable finishing of cotton fabric. The compound was obtained as a result of the thiol-ene click reaction. The compound was designed to have two functional groups: an alkoxysilyl group for cross-linking and binding to the cotton fabric, and a phosphate group to provide flame retardant properties.
