Cement slurries are prepared that comprise water, a hydraulic cement and particles of an oil-absorbent material. The particles are present in an amount sufficient to alter a property of a non-aqueous drilling fluid. The cement slurry is placed in a subterranean well, whereupon the slurry contacts residual drilling fluid on casing and formation surfaces. The oil-absorbent material in the cement slurry may reduce the mobility of the drilling fluid, thereby improving zonal isolation.

A premixed photoluminescent composition and related hardened form and method of forming joints for pavers or stones. The premixed photoluminescent composition comprises solid aggregates; a photoluminescent particulate component adapted to emit light when photoexcited; and a binder. When in contact with an activator, oxygen or water, the binder is adapted to harden into a water-resistant binder matrix that bonds the solid aggregates and embeds the photoluminescent particulate component. In use, the water-resistant binder matrix has a transparency allowing transmission of at least a portion of the light emitted by the photoluminescent particulate component.

The present invention belongs to the field of composite materials, and particularly to a non-flowable quick-setting phosphate cement repair material with strong cohesive forces and the preparation method thereof. The material comprises the following raw materials in percentage by weight: 20% to 40% of sand, 5% to 12% of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, 10% to 25% of magnesium oxide, 2% to 8% of fly ash, 30% to 60% of rubber powder, 6% to 10% of silica fume, 0.35% to 0.6% of a polycarboxylate high efficiency water-reducing agent, 1% to 5% of sodium silicate, 1.5% to 2% of a polypropylene fiber, 0.5% to 2% of a retarder, and 8% to 10% of water. The material is used as the repair material for the special positions of bottom boards of bridges or facades of buildings which are damaged, and the repair effect thereof is remarkable.

A method for applying a high friction surface roadway treatment and composition used therein is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: providing a binder composition, comprising: 10-99.9 wt. % of a resin; 0.1-70 wt. % of an elastomer; heating the binder composition to a sufficient temperature to obtain a molten binder composition; applying a layer of the molten binder composition; and applying a layer comprising aggregate having a nominal maximum size of at least 1 mm, and an embedment depth of at least 30% in the molten binder composition layer. The resin is selected from hydrocarbon resins, alkyd resins, rosin resins, rosin esters, and combinations thereof.

Expansive cements for use in cementing subterranean wells comprise water, an inorganic cement and one or more particulate materials that swell upon contact with a water immiscible fluid. The cements may further comprise a water immiscible fluid. Such cements are designed to seal microannuli arising from the presence of water immiscible fluids on casing surfaces, borehole wall surfaces or both.
