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…
Creep in reactive colloidal gels: a nanomechanical study of cement hydrates
Michael Haist, Thibaut Divoux, Konrad J. Krakowiak +4
From soft polymeric gels to hardened cement paste, amorphous solids under constant load exhibit a pronounced time-dependent deformation called creep. The microscopic mechanism of s…
Theory of Freezing Point Depression in Charged Porous Media
Tingtao Zhou, Mohammad Mirzadeh, Dimitrios Fraggedakis +2
Freezing in charged porous media can induce significant pressure and cause damage to tissues and functional materials. We formulate a thermodynamically consistent theory to model f…
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…
