A superhydrophobic coating is provided and contains organosilane, an inorganic nanomaterial, and an emulsifying agent. A mass proportion of the components is controlled, so that the superhydrophobic coating can form a micro-nano mixed microstructure inside foam concrete. The organosilane first forms dense hydrophobic surface layers on the surface and in inner pores of the foam concrete, and the nanomaterial forms uniformly distributed nano-bulges on the hydrophobic surface layers formed by the silane. The superhydrophobic performance of the foam concrete can be effectively improved by combining the two microstructures. The foam concrete exhibits excellent superhydrophobic performance.

A phosphogypsum non-sintered ceramsite light aggregate composed of water and a mixture composed of phosphogypsum, mineral powder and cement. Raw materials of the mixture have weight percentages of phosphogypsum 80-90%, mineral powder 3.3-10%, cement 6.5-10%; the water has a weight of 17% of the total weight of the mixture. A method of preparing the phosphogypsum non-sintered ceramsite light aggregate. The phosphogypsum non-sintered ceramsite light aggregate is prepared by modification, granulation, curing, crushing, sieving and other processes by using phosphogypsum as a main material, cement as an alkaline activator, mineral powder as an active material.

This disclosure relates to silicon modified vinyl acetate ethylene copolymers and to emulsions and articles of manufacture based on the same.

This disclosure relates to hydrophobic metal phosphate ceramic comprising a Group IV element of silicon, germanium, tin, or lead having at least one hydrocarbon covalently bonded thereto. Methods of providing water proofing and/or anti-corrosion protection are provided.

A composition including: at least one waterbased polyurethane dispersion containing ethylene oxide units; at least one cement; and at least one mineral filler. The composition can be mixed and applied without coagulation of the polyurethane dispersion. Upon curing, it has a high strength and good adhesion properties, with surprisingly low shrinkage and most surprisingly good water impermeability properties. It is particularly suitable for the use as repair mortar, waterproofing mortar or screed mortar.

The invention relates to a composition, more particularly, to a two-component composition comprising component I comprising at least one methylene malonate monomer (A), at least one polymer (B) and at least one acidic stabilizer (C), and component comprising at least one alkali accelerator, to the preparation thereof, and to the use of the composition as a waterproofing coat in construction applications.

The present invention deals with development of a novel process for manufacturing moisture resistant glossy finish hybrid green polymeric composites with variable density in range of 0.2-1.68 g/cc, low water/moisture absorption in the range of 0.1-1.3%, tensile strength and tensile modulus in range of 6.5-105 MPa and 250-6850 MPa, respectively and to the best of our knowledge the fabricated hybrid green composites has not yet developed universally using different types of industrial wastes particulates. Moreover, hybrid composites developed using industrial wastes, natural fibres and epoxy/polyester/polyurethane polymers is a unique materials and have multifunctional applications in wider spectrum as an alternative to wood, synthetic wood, wood plastic composites, screen printing sheet, plastic, fibre and glass reinforced polymer products, including tin sheet.

A method for the preparation of concretes with improved wear resistance. The method involves the use of colloidal silica, which is added to a concrete mixture after mixing, in conjunction with a concrete cutter, which is added to the concrete mixture after the addition of the colloidal silica.
