An aqueous carbonation curing method of a binder composition according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: forming a binder composition; curing the binder composition in a negative pressure state (pre-curing step); water curing the pre-cured binder composition in an aqueous carbon dioxide absorbent solution (first curing step); and curing the first-cured binder composition in a 95% or more relative humidity atmosphere (second curing step).

Concrete made using the protocol described herein converts more of the available calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH).sub.2) into calcium carbonate (CaCO.sub.3) and distributes it more thoroughly throughout the concrete mixture by converting it into calcium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO.sub.3).sub.2) by adjusting the pH of the hydrating liquid and then deliberately adjusting the pH of the hydrating liquid again when precipitation of the CaCO.sub.3 from the hydration liquid is desired to more uniformly coat the materials used in a concrete mix. This process creates more CaCO.sub.3 in concrete than current methods on the market and that has been demonstrated to increase the structural and chemical properties of the concrete.

The invention relates to a glass-fiber textile structure, characterized in that it has a parylene (poly(para-xylylene)) coating with a thickness of between 5 μm and 30 μm, preferably between 6 μm and 25 μm, in particular between 7 and 20 μm. The invention also relates to a method for reinforcing a solid material, which comprises introducing such a textile structure having a parylene coating into a fluid base material, preferably a base material comprising water and a hydraulic binder, and curing the base material.

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods of manufacture of a composite material. In an aspect, the composite material may comprise a cellulosic material and a binder material. In some cases, at least a portion of the cellulosic material may be delignified. In some cases, at least a portion of crystal structure of the cellulosic material may be maintained in the composite material. In some cases, the cellulosic material may comprise a plurality of pores. In some cases, the binder may comprise lime comprising calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide. In some cases, the binder may further comprise silicate.
