A concrete product set by pouring a concrete slurry includes a) a concrete mixture; b) a graphene admixture; c) a colloidal silica admixture; and d) at least one reinforcing fiber selected from the group of fibers. As the poured concrete slurry cures, the poured slurry hardens into a composite material product, and the composite material defines capillary structures that at least in part fill with silica and lime, and the surrounding composite material is embedded with graphene. In another exemplary embodiment, the present invention is directed to a process for preparing a concrete product. The process comprises the steps of a) preparing a concrete slurry; b) pouring the concrete slurry; and c) allowing the concrete slurry to cure. In another exemplary embodiment, the present invention is directed to the product itself; namely, a concrete product with or without fibers, or to the admixture(s).

A method for manufacturing a honeycomb structure, includes: a step of manufacturing a honeycomb formed body to manufacture a non-fired honeycomb formed body having volume of 7 L or more; a drying step of drying the manufactured non-fired honeycomb formed body to obtain a honeycomb dried body; and a firing step of firing the obtained honeycomb dried body to obtain a honeycomb structure. The drying step includes: an induction drying step to obtain a first dried honeycomb formed body by removing 20 to 80% of the entire water that the non-fired honeycomb formed body contained before drying, and a microwave drying step to obtain a honeycomb dried body by removing the residual water. The honeycomb dried body subjected to this microwave drying step is obtained by removing 90% or more of the entire water that the non-fired honeycomb formed body contained before drying.

The present disclosure discloses a modified calcium silicate board, and belongs to the technical field of floors and decorative boards. A modification method comprises steps of: dipping a calcium silicate board in a silicon dioxide solution with a solid content of 95% or more, completely absorbing the silicon dioxide solution until the calcium silicate board is saturated, and drying the dipped calcium silicate board; and carrying out sizing hardening on any surface of the modified calcium silicate board to obtain the calcium silicate board, so as to enable the triamine impregnated paper to be directly laminated with the calcium silicate board in a hot-pressing manner, and enable the surface bonding strength to reach 1 MPa; wood veneers, fireproof plates and other materials are subjected to coldbonding, the peeling strength of the product meets the requirements, and the practicability of the calcium silicate board is effectively improved.
