Various embodiments disclosed relate to compatibilized resin-cement composite compositions and methods of using the same. In various embodiments, the present invention provides a method of treating a subterranean formation that includes placing in the subterranean formation a resin-cement composite composition. The resin-cement composite composition includes a resin, a cement, and a substituted or unsubstituted poly(alkylamine) compatibilizer.

A foam ink composition for printing porous structures comprises stabilizing particles and gas bubbles dispersed in a solvent. The stabilizing particles comprise a predetermined interfacial energy so as to exhibit a contact angle with the solvent of from about 15 to about 90 . At least a portion of the stabilizing particles are positioned at interfacial regions between the solvent and the gas bubbles, thereby stabilizing the gas bubbles in the foam ink composition. A 3D printed hierarchical porous structure comprises one or more continuous filaments arranged in a predetermined pattern on a substrate, the one or more continuous filaments comprising a sintered material and including a porosity of at least about 40 vol. %.

The invention provides novel aerated composite materials that possess excellent physical and performance characteristics of aerated concretes, and methods of production and uses thereof. These composite materials can be readily produced from widely available, low cost raw materials by a process suitable for large-scale production with improved energy consumption, desirable carbon footprint and minimal environmental impact.

Disclosed herein are a fly ash-based foam geopolymer, a preparation method therefor, and the use thereof. The fly ash-based foam geopolymer is prepared from raw materials comprising the following components in parts by weight: 900-1000 parts of a fly ash-based material; 600-700 parts of a composite alkali solution; 0-10 parts of a thickening agent; 2-6 parts of a foam stabilizer A; 5-10 parts of a water reducer; and 20-40 parts of a foaming agent. The preparation method of the present application is simple, and processes such as ball milling, water washing and calcining do not need to be carried out on the raw materials, such that the investment in a grinding equipment, a water washing equipment, a sewage treatment equipment, and a calcining equipment is reduced, and the energy consumption and carbon emissions are reduced. The fly ash-based foam geopolymer prepared by using the fly ash-based material as the main raw material in the present application has a low apparent density and a high early strength, and can be used in the field of fabricated buildings.

Compositions for gypsum board are disclosed, comprising a mixture of a gypsum slurry and a pre-generated foam and a coalescing agent. The coalescing agent comprises one or more coalescing agents that are added to the composition singly, separately or in combination to change the size and distribution of the air bubbles in the foamed gypsum slurry. The resulting gypsum cores have increased nail pull resistance and an improved facer/gypsum core bond.

A process for producing a mineral foam having water repellent properties includes a) separately preparing a slurry of cement and an aqueous foam, wherein the cement slurry includes water, at least one water repellent agent different from organosilicon compound, and Portland cement and the aqueous foam includes a co-stabiliser; b) contacting the slurry of cement with the aqueous foam to obtain a slurry of foamed cement; and c) casting the slurry of foamed cement and leave the slurry of foamed cement to set.

Disclosed is a foamed cementitious composition which limits or eliminates aggregate, especially porous lightweight aggregate and uses a lower than usual water to cementitious composition weight ratio. The stable cementitious foam mixtures may be employed to make cement boards and other cement products. The foamed cementitious composition was made with additions of PVOH foaming stabilizer and surfactant foaming agents to make foam water or by entrain air into cementitious slurry mixtures. The cementitious mixtures have a limited amount or preferably no perlite and no lightweight aggregate. The resulting foamed mixture had foam bubbles with size in the range of 50 to 200 m. After setting the foamed cementitious composition the resulting set board has air cells with size in the range of 50 to 200 m.
