Rosenthal, Michael (author), Rüggeberg, Markus (author), Gerber, Christian (author), Beyrich, Lukas (author), Faludi, Jeremy (author)Purpose: The purpose of this study is to quantify the vertical shrinkage rates and the mechanical strength of three-dimensional (3D) printed parts for a variety of wood-based materials for liquid deposition modeling. Design/methodology/approach: The overall hypothesis was that a well-chosen combination of binders, fibers and fillers could...journal article 2022

Li, Z. (author), Beltran, Irving Alfredo Flores (author), Chen, Y. (author), Šavija, B. (author), Ye, G. (author)In this study, glass wool waste was utilized by means of alkali-activation with blast furnace slag. Reaction kinetics, workability, mechanical properties and autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag and glass wool were comprehensively studied. Results indicated an optimal modulus (SiO<sub>2</sub>/Na<sub>2</sub>O) of the activator related...journal article 2021

Li, Z. (author), Wyrzykowski, Mateusz (author), Dong, H. (author), Granja, José (author), Azenha, Miguel (author), Lura, Pietro (author), Ye, G. (author)In this study, internal curing by superabsorbent polymers (SAP) is utilized to mitigate self-desiccation and autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag (AAS) pastes. Absorption and desorption kinetics of SAP incorporated in AAS pastes were studied with X-ray tomography. Internal curing delayed the peak of the rate of heat liberation but...journal article 2020

Li, Z. (author), Nedeljković, Marija (author), Chen, B. (author), Ye, G. (author)This study investigates the effectiveness of metakaolin (MK)in mitigating the autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag (AAS). It is found that the autogenous shrinkage of AAS paste can be reduced by 40% and 50% when replacing 10% and 20% slag with MK, respectively. By providing additional Si and Al, and decreasing the pH of the pore...journal article 2019
