Ion specificity of confined ion-water structuring and nanoscale surface forces in clays
Francis Dragulet, Abhay Goyal, Katerina Ioannidou +2
Ion specificity and related Hofmeister effects, ubiquitous in aqueous systems, can have spectacular consequences in hydrated clays, where ion-specific nanoscale surface forces can…
The physics of cement cohesion
Abhay Goyal, Ivan Palaia, Katerina Ioannidou +5
Cement is one of the most produced materials in the world. A major player in greenhouse gas emissions, it is the main binding agent in concrete, to which it provides a cohesive str…
The Effect of Confinement on Capillary Phase Transition In Granular Aggregates
Siavash Monfared, Tingtao Zhou, Jose E. Andrade +4
Utilizing a 3D mean-field lattice-gas model, we analyze the effect of confinement on the nature of capillary phase transition in granular aggregates with varying disorder and their…
Multiscale Poromechanics of Wet Cement Paste
Tingtao Zhou, Katerina Ioannidou, Franz-Josef Ulm +2
Capillary effects such as imbibition-drying cycles impact the mechanics of granular systems over time. A multiscale poromechanics framework was applied to cement paste, that is the…
Capillary stress and structural relaxation in moist granular materials
Tingtao Zhou, Katerina Ioannidou, Enrico Masoero +3
We propose a theoretical framework to calculate capillary stresses in complex mesoporous materials, such as moist sand, nanoporous hydrates, and drying colloidal films. Molecular s…
