Enhancing high-performance concrete sustainability: integration of waste tire rubber for innovation.

This study extensively explored the impact of integrating waste tire rubber into high-performance concrete (HPC) by substituting natural sand. Different fractions of rubber particles-5%, 10%, and 15% replacements of the fine aggregate-were rigorously investigated. Properties from fresh to hardened concrete were assessed, including compressive and tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, workability, and damping coefficient.

Assessing the Weathering Performance and Functionality of Nanoparticle-Enhanced High-Pressure Laminates for Building Facade Applications.

High-pressure laminates (HPLs) are widely utilized in interior applications but may have potential as exterior building facade coatings if suitably enhanced for weatherability. Nanoparticle additives are a promising approach to improving the durability and functionality of HPLs. This study aims to evaluate titanium dioxide (TiO) and silicon dioxide (SiO) nanoparticles incorporated into HPLs to determine if they impart properties for durable, functional exterior facades.
