Polyurethane-cement composite are widely used in modern civil engineering, and the method of adding diluent is often used to adjust the construction process to adapt to the engineering environment. Studies have shown that the addition of diluent impa...
To address the issue of restricted grout diffusion caused by seepage effects during grouting in sandy soil layers, this study proposes an optimised grouting method for water-based polyurethane-cement composite grout (WPU-CS) under vacuum-pressure syn...
The mechanical properties of polyurethane grouting materials were significantly improved when cement, sodium meta-silicate, red mud, slag, and fly ash were added. However, the grouting mechanisms of polyurethane composite materials are not clear. The...
Currently the investigation on recycled cement concrete aggregate has been widely conducted, while the understanding of the recycled polymer concrete aggregate is still limited. This study aims to fill this knowledge gap through the experimental inve...
In this paper, cement based on fused silica powder @ polyurethane urea (FSP@PUU) with a micro constrained damping structure was studied. Firstly, FSP@PUU core-shell particles were prepared by heterogeneous stepwise addition polymerization method and...
This paper aims to provide a preliminary assessment of polyurethane adhesive applicability as an alternative to conventional cement-based adhesives used to fix thermal insulation materials to substrates concerning mineral wool-based external thermal...
The Amazon biome’s climate, with annual temperatures above 30 °C and humidity over 90%, poses challenges for building thermally comfortable structures without expensive cooling systems. This study developed a castor oil-based polyurethane (...
This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on a steel-reinforced polyurethane (SRPU) composite system with a mineral interlayer, designed for the protection of existing structures. The composite SRPU was reinforced with unidirec...
The optimization of thermal performance in buildings is essential for sustainable urban development, yet the high cost and complexity of traditional thermal conductivity measurement methods limit broader research and educational applications. This st...
A novel series of biodegradable polylactide-based triblock polyurethane (TBPU) copolymers covering a wide range of molecular weights and compositions were synthesized for potential use in biomedical applications. This new class of copolymers showed t...
Traditional cementitious coating materials struggle to meet the performance criteria for protective coatings in complex environments. This study developed a polymer-modified cement-based coating material with polymer, silica fume (SF), and quartz san...
The interlaminar shear characteristics of a polyurethane (PU) mixture composite structure, quantitatively calculating its energy consumption and carbon emissions were analyzed in this study. Inclined shear tests were carried out on thirteen structure...
