The present invention comprises a product. The product comprises a first mineral in particulate form and having a first pozzolanic reactivity and a second mineral in particulate form and having a second pozzolanic reactivity greater than the first reactivity, wherein the surface of at least some of the particles of the first mineral is at least partially covered with particles of the second mineral. A method of making the composition of the present invention is also disclosed.

A device and method for reinforcing recycled aggregate based on in-situ C—S—H production including a first, second, third chamber, and a blast drier. A spray structure arranged on the top of the third chamber; the first and second chamber connected to the spray structure through pumps. A hollowed container arranged at the bottom of the spray structure. A certain gap reserved between the bottom of the container and the bottom of the third chamber, the bottom of the third chamber is provided with at least one drain outlet; the blast drier connected to the bottom of the third chamber, and a cover is arranged on the top of the third chamber. The first chamber contains calcium hydroxide solution. The second chamber contains a mixed solution of TEOS, water and anhydrous ethanol. The container is arranged in the third chamber, and the container is used to contain to-be-treated recycled aggregate.

Reinforced concrete is easily repaired at a low cost. An anti-corrosion method for preventing corrosion of a reinforcing bar inside reinforced concrete includes: an impregnation step of impregnating with water a cracked portion having occurred in the reinforced concrete, and a drying step of removing the water from the cracked portion and forming an anti-corrosive coating on the surface of the reinforcing bar. The anti-corrosive coating is formed by the neutralization of an alkali component by the drying step, the alkali component having been leached from concrete in the cracked portion by the impregnation step.

A variety of particles forming microencapsulated thermochromic materials. The particles can include a thermochromic core and a metal oxide shell encapsulating the thermochromic core. The thermochromic core can include one or both of an organic thermochromic material and an inorganic salt thermochromic material. In some aspects, the particles include a dye selected from a crystal violet lactone dye, a fluoran dye, and a combination thereof. In still further aspects, the particles include a color developer selected from a hydroxybenzoate, a 4,4′-dihydroxydiphenyl propane, a hydroxycoumarin derivative, a lauryl gallate, and a combination thereof. In some aspects, the metal oxide shell is a TiO.sub.2 shell. The particles can be used in cements and paints and for a variety of building materials. Methods of making the particles and building materials and methods of use, for example, for removing a volatile organic carbon from a building material, are also provided.
