big step forward in how we model cement - featuring plenty of the work of Rupert J Myers from his PhD in Materials at TUoS!

*Very* pleased to be able to announce that this new paper by Xinyuan Ke has been published (#OpenAccess) in CCR: doi.org/10.1016/j.cemc…. Modelling carbonation of alkali-activated cements by clever tweaks to a thermodynamic approach, illustrated with some lovely graphics.

After 2 years+6m maternity leave, proud to announce that I am starting my first day as a Lecturer Bath Arch&Civil Eng. My pleasure to be part of a supportive team and a dynamic research center @brecicm! (Well... practically, this is part of my normal working hours🌖)

Lydia is doing her dissertation into the origins of the term “concrete cancer” and its implications on public and professional attitudes to concrete. It would be great if you could give 5 minutes of your time to help her by completing this survey. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Couldn’t agree more! But I also doubt if the same truth can be found in more application-oriented research🤔

Geopolymer (N-A-S-H) gels can be used as low-carbon thermochemical heat storage materials for improving the energy efficiency in buildings! Please check out our new publication on Microporous and Mesoporous Materials #energyefficiency #EnergyStorage authors.elsevier.com/a/1dWxL4xQ95zE…

Pleased to share a couple of new papers from work w/ Xinyuan Ke, @cementsatshef, Oday Hussein and Susan Bernal - both looking at AAM: one on the thermodynamic properties of sodium aluminosilicate hydrate in DaltonTransactions pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…

This work will be important for those attempting to model MICP in cementitious composites. Joint work between University of Bath and Wuhan University of Technology developed by Xinyuan Ke. Experiments led by Linzhen Tan with contributions from @GebhardLab and Veronica Ferrandiz.
