Strength formation mechanism and performance of steel slag self-compacting epoxy resin concrete

A self-compacting steel slag epoxy resin concrete (SERC) was designed with steel slag as aggregate and epoxy resin as binder for rapid repair of road expansion joints and pavement. At the same time, a group of self-compacting basalt epoxy resin concrete (BERC) with basalt as coarse aggregate and limestone as fine aggregate was set up as the...

Simultaneous photocatalytic and microbial degradation of dye-containing wastewater by a novel g-C₃ N₄ -P₂₅ /photosynthetic bacteria composite

Azo dyes are very resistant to light-induced fading and biodegradation. Existing advanced oxidative pre-treatment methods based on the generation of non-selective radicals cannot efficiently remove these dyes from wastewater streams, and post-treatment oxidative dye removal is problematic because it may leave many byproducts with unknown...

The Rationality of Four Metrics of Network Robustness: A Viewpoint of Robust Growth of Generalized Meshes

There are quite a number of different metrics of network robustness. This paper addresses the rationality of four metrics of network robustness (the algebraic connectivity, the effective resistance, the average edge betweenness, and the efficiency) by investigating the robust growth of generalized meshes (GMs). First, a heuristic growth...

The effect of processing parameters on the formation of epoxy/UF resin microcapsules

Epoxy E-51/UF resin microcapsules were prepared by traditional two-stepped in situ polymerization method and processing parameters affecting the final microcapsules’ shape and size were carefully studied in the aim to obtain microcapsule with ideally spherical shape and uniform size. It’s found the polycarboxylate surfactant of SMA (styrene...

Self-encapsulation of epoxy resin by a controlled interface curing process in epoxy/water emulsion

The microcapsules of epoxy E-51 resin encapsulated by cured itself were prepared by interfacial curing reaction, in which ethylenediamine (EDA) was employed as curing agent and sulfonated copolymer of styrene and maleic anhydride (SMA) as emulsifying agent. It’s found the morphology of microcapsules strongly depend on reaction time and EDA...
