AI Article Synopsis

  • This study examines how adding phosphoric acid (HPO), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KHPO), and sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaHPO) affects magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) in terms of setting time, compressive strength, and water resistance.
  • The findings reveal that while these admixtures reduce both the setting time and compressive strength, the MOC still achieves over 30.00 MPa strength when 2.0 wt.% of phosphoric acid is used after 14 days of air curing.

Article Abstract

This study investigates the effects of phosphoric acid (HPO), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KHPO) and sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaHPO) admixtures on the setting time, compressive strength and water resistance of magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC). MOC samples incorporating different admixtures are prepared, and their hydration products and microstructures are studied via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that the addition of HPO, KHPO and NaHPO reduces the initial and final setting times and decreases the compressive strength. However, the compressive strength of MOC is higher than 30.00 MPa with the addition of 2.0 wt.% phosphoric acid and its phosphate after 14 days of air curing. The water resistance of modified MOC slurries is significantly improved. The softening coefficient of MOC with 2.0 wt.% HPO is 1.2 after 14 days of water immersion, which is 3.44 times higher than that of the neat MOC. The enhancement in water resistance is attributed to the formation of amorphous gel facilitated by HPO, KHPO and NaHPO. Furthermore, the improvement in water resistance is manifested as HPO > KHPO > NaHPO.

Tumor hypoxia and heat resistance as well as the light penetration deficiency severely compromise the phototherapeutic efficacy, developing phototherapeutic agents to overcome these issues has been sought-after goal. Herein, a diradical-featured organic small-molecule semiconductor, namely TTD-CN, has been designed to show low exciton binding energy of 42 meV by unique dimeric π-π aggregation, promoting near-infrared (NIR) absorption beyond 808 nm and effective photo-induced charge separation. More interestingly, its redox potentials are tactfully manipulated for water splitting to produce O and reduction of O to generate O .
