The kinetics curve of moisture adsorption/desorption were drawn and humidity controlling performance in nature environment was verified. The experimental results show that moisture absorption/desorption rates are increased, and the speed is also accelerated. These materials, which can adjust environmental humidity effectively, are new ones with good humidity controlling performance.展开更多

Mortar composites were made incorporating different amounts of PVC particles and cured at constant room temperature during various periods of time. From X-ray diffraction, it was possible to follow the hydration process and to estimate the effect of the PVC particles on anhydrite transformation to gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O). Compressive strength from uniaxial testing was measured from stress-strain curves carried out at room temperature. According to these results, the hydration rates of the composites depend on the concentration of PVC particles and there is an enhancement in their compressive strength as particle content increases, reaching values of 36 MPa after 28 days.展开更多
