All the samples show a single phase which confirmed by XRD and SEM. Magnetic properties of all the prepared samples at the low temperature (10 K) showed antiferromagnetic behaviour with a small difference in magnetization. The slight change in magnetic characteristics could probably occur because of small lattice structural distortion. Fe-doped GdMnO3 could be a material of choice for multiferroic application showing a superior antiferromagnetic property.","PeriodicalId":11915,"journal":{"name":"Epitoanyag - Journal of Silicate Based and Composite Materials","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88332244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Taking on this viewpoint, the current work focuses on replacing natural materials with recycled and synthetic materials, to produce a new eco-material that satisfies the binary concept; minimizing cost and constructing light elements with complex geometry that promotes architectural innovation. The present work aims to mix design and study a mortar based on mixture of fine siliceous dune sand and crushed limestone sand lightened by expanded polystyrene (EPS). Sand was substituted by EPS with percentages of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 100%. The physical, mechanical and thermal properties of composite mortars were assessed according to the dry density, compressive strength, flexural strength, porosity, and conductivity. The obtained results show that, the use of EPS decreases the mechanical properties and the density of mortars. However, the thermal properties of mortars incorporating EPS were improved and meet the requirement for lightweight concrete constructions and insulation applications.","PeriodicalId":11915,"journal":{"name":"Epitoanyag - Journal of Silicate Based and Composite Materials","volume":"39 1","pages":"28-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83923948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of these studies was to study influence of the chemical composition on the infrared transmission and properties of glasses in the PbO–B2O3–SiO2–GeO2 system. Conducted studies have testified to the fact that the transmission cutoff of glasses in the infrared region varies from 2.7 to 5.5 μm depending on the content of basic glass forming oxides B2O3, SiO2 and GeO2. The additive of fluoride to the compositions of glasses under study makes for the expansion of the transmission cutoff of infrared rays and the decrease in the intensity of absorption bands of the hydroxyl groups.","PeriodicalId":11915,"journal":{"name":"Epitoanyag - Journal of Silicate Based and Composite Materials","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84738544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research verifies the possibility of partially replacing cement by glass waste powder (GWP) in new concrete mixes. For this purpose, two different concrete mixes having compressive strengths of 25 MPa and 32 MPa were made with 0%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% of GWP as a partial replacement of cement. The properties of fresh concrete mixes were determined by the slump, air content and flow table tests. Concerning the tests on hardened concrete, the compressive strength test was carried out on cylindrical specimens at 7, 14 and 28 days in addition to the water absorption and the tensile strength tests at 28 days. As a result, the partial replacement of cement by GWP showed no clear effect on the properties of the fresh concrete mixes. Whereas, 10% GWP in 25MPa concrete mix gave higher compressive and tensile strengths at 28 days and increased the moisture content; and 15% GWP in 32 MPa concrete mix gave the higher compressive strength at 28 days but decreased the tensile strength and the moisture content.","PeriodicalId":11915,"journal":{"name":"Epitoanyag - Journal of Silicate Based and Composite Materials","volume":"118 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89125549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various investigations have shown the desirable attributes of the material as a Supplementary Cementitious Material (SCM) in cement concrete systems. This paper captures the compressive strengths impact of calcined clay-Portland cement (CC-PC) as binders in both concrete and soil systems. Grade 20 concrete cubes were prepared and tested; adopting five CC-PC binder blends obtained by replacing PC with CC at 0(control), 5, 10, 15, and 20%; designated as PC100, PC95, PC90, PC85, and PC80, respectively. Similarly, four CC-PC binder blends PC100(control), PC75, PC50, and PC25 were adopted to stabilise samples of A-2-6 lateritic soils at increasing content of 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10% of the soil’s weight. Results show that compressive strengths of the concrete samples increase with cement replacement. PC80 impacts the highest strengths with 7, 28 and 56-day strength activity indices (SAIs) of 174.7, 126.0 and 144.9%, respectively. In soil stabilisation, unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of the soil was found to increase with binder contents (2.5% to 10%) for the four binder designations. Compared to control (PC100), the PC75, and PC50 binders were better stabilisers with 7 and 28-day SAIs ranging between 105 and 275%, respectively. From the results, for applications across concrete and soil stabilisation works, CC has been shown to be a potential supplementary material for mitigating carbon emission without compromising on strength enhancement.","PeriodicalId":11915,"journal":{"name":"Epitoanyag - Journal of Silicate Based and Composite Materials","volume":"35 1","pages":"70-71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73724874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sunflower oil synthesized fatty amides (FASF), used as an organic compound to change the natural group of mineral clay phyllosilicate, sodium montmorillonite (NaMMT) and potassium illite (KILT). The clay modification was accomplished by stirring the clay particles in an aqueous (FASF) solution which increases the clay layer distance from 1.28 to 2.79 nm of MMT and 1.18 to 1.33 nm of ILT because the action exchange capacity NaMMT is much greater than the low cation exchange capacity KILT. The improved Na-MMT was then used as a natural rubber (NR) nanocomposite isoprene preparation. The modifier’s interaction in the clay layer was defined by Xray diffraction (XRD). The nanocomposite was synthesized through melt mixing of modified clay (MMT) and NR by a traditional method. Using XRD, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), the nanocomposite was characterized. The results of XRD and TEM verified nanocomposite growth. Compared to pure NR, NR modified MMT nanocomposites show higher thermal stability. FASF as a vegetable oil derivative to modify clay will reduce dependence on surfactants based on petroleum. Such nanocomposite is considered environmentally friendly in addition to renewable resources.","PeriodicalId":11915,"journal":{"name":"Epitoanyag - Journal of Silicate Based and Composite Materials","volume":"81 1","pages":"110-113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90859694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The soils were first characterized and found to belong to A-7, A-7-6, A-7 and A-7-5 group of soils according to the AASHTO classification method. Also, they were found, from basic experiments, to be highly plastic soils with high clay contents.
