In Part Four, Chapter 11 offers the effectiveness of calcium carbonate nanoparticles on the improvements of compressive strength and durabUity of high-volume fly ash concrete. These resulting properties are further correlated with relevant microstructure and crystalline phases by means of X-ray diffraction, mercury intrusion porosimetry, differential thermal analysis, and thermal gravimetric analysis. Chapter 12 reviews current research and relevant techniques for the manufacture and application of amorphous carbon and its nanocomposites. Various applications for the textile, plastic, and healthcare industries, as well as in the fields of gas and water filtering, electrical apphcations, and food packaging, are also discussed based on the superior and unique propoties of...
