Disclosed are a ten-membered fergusonite structure high-entropy oxide ceramic and a preparation method thereof, where the high-entropy oxide ceramic has a monoclinic structure, with a chemical formula of RENbO.sub.4, and the RE is any ten rare-earth cations selected from a group consisting of La.sup.3+, Ce.sup.3+, Pr.sup.3+, Nd.sup.3+, Sm.sup.3+, Eu.sup.3+, Gd.sup.3+, Dy.sup.3+, Ho.sup.3+, Er.sup.3+, Tm.sup.3+, Yb.sup.3+, Lu.sup.3+ and Y.sup.3+. The ten rare-earth cations have a molar ratio of 1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1 and equal share of RE position. According to the application, by adopting solid state reaction, the fergusonite structure high-entropy oxide ceramic with single-phase structure, uniform element distribution and stable phase is obtained. The high-entropy oxide ceramic prepared by the application is simple in process, uniform in chemical composition and microstructure, and convenient to realize on-demand regulation on properties through a combination of different elements.

A building assembly can include a substrate and a water barrier coating film. The water barrier coating film can include a thermoplastic polymer and microporous particles, such as microporous glass beads. The water barrier coating film can provide a good protection towards liquid water but may allow water vapor flow from the substrate through the coating film. The water vapor permeability of the water barrier coating film can be at least 2 US perms as tested according to ASTM E96 (2014) at 21° C. and 50% average relative humidity.

The present description relates to an anti-efflorescence water based composition that eliminates the efflorescence that occurs on new pavers, stones, concrete bricks or concrete furniture because of high humidity comprising a homo polymer solution of acrylic, an hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol and/or a combination thereof.
