High-performance, eco-friendly calcium carbonate cement via alginate-mediated biomimetic mineralisation
Calcium carbonate-based binders offer significant environmental advantages, particularly in carbon capture and sustainable construction. Inspired by the organic matrix in biomineralisation, this study investigates sodium alginate as a functional additive and matrix to enhance calcium carbonate cement. Incorporating 1.5 wt% sodium alginate within the mineralisation system yielded a lightweight composite with a compressive strength of 46 MPa and an elastic modulus of 800 MPa after 28 days of curing – improvements of 1084 % and 155 %, respectively, compared to alginate-free samples. The phase evolution and structural development influenced by alginate were extensively characterised using X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, attenuated total reflection infrared analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Alginate was pivotal in nucleating and stabilising amorphous calcium carbonate, orienting its subsequent transformation into spherulitic calcite. Micro-computed tomography analysis under compression revealed the exceptional elasticity and toughness of the alginate composites. It further elucidated the defects distribution of different features of the stabilisation and crystallisation within the composites before, during, and after compression. These findings underscore the critical role of biopolymer-mediated mineralisation in engineering high-performance, cementitious calcium carbonate composites. Beyond CO2 sequestration, this environmentally friendly material offers promising applications in sustainable construction and advanced composite systems.
期刊介绍:
Composites Part B: Engineering is a journal that publishes impactful research of high quality on composite materials. This research is supported by fundamental mechanics and materials science and engineering approaches. The targeted research can cover a wide range of length scales, ranging from nano to micro and meso, and even to the full product and structure level. The journal specifically focuses on engineering applications that involve high performance composites. These applications can range from low volume and high cost to high volume and low cost composite development.
The main goal of the journal is to provide a platform for the prompt publication of original and high quality research. The emphasis is on design, development, modeling, validation, and manufacturing of engineering details and concepts. The journal welcomes both basic research papers and proposals for review articles. Authors are encouraged to address challenges across various application areas. These areas include, but are not limited to, aerospace, automotive, and other surface transportation. The journal also covers energy-related applications, with a focus on renewable energy. Other application areas include infrastructure, off-shore and maritime projects, health care technology, and recreational products.
