现代建筑广泛应用混凝土材料,不像传统方法上控制水泥混合的配比、制作工艺等,莱斯大学的科学团队直接深入纳米级来研究水泥微粒,通过控制水化硅酸钙(C-S-H)结晶、粒子特殊微观形状,来使得水泥微粒形成特殊形状,如立方体、三棱柱、枝状晶体、核-壳结构、菱面体等等,这样可编程的微粒可以使得材料密度更高,具备防水和牢固的微观结构。 Instead of controlling the mix ratio of cement and making process, etc., the scientific team at Rice University goes directly to the nanometer level to study the cement particles through controlling the crystallization of hydrated calcium silicate (CSH) Particulate special microscopic shapes make the cement particles form special shapes such as cubes, triangular prisms, dendrites, core-shell structures, rhomboids, etc. Such programmable particles can result in higher material density, water and firmness micro structure.
