Listen in to @BBCSheffield tomorrow at 8:15am to hear @LordOfClinker discuss the ongoing situation with RAAC concrete. The recent news and media interest in this shows just how important it is that we study and understand the materials we use. Listen here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:b…

If you want to know more about why schools are being closed because of aerated concrete, this article from @theipaper explains why reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) is dangerous, with information from our member @LordOfClinker inews.co.uk/news/science/sch…

It's always exciting to welcome new members - Tom Wilkinson (pictured 2nd from left) has recently joined us as a PDRA to work on the FeRICH project, which is exploring how waste from the steel industry can be used to develop iron-rich cement clinkers. Welcome to the team Tom!

Have a look at this new paper from our colleagues about the reaction mechanisms, kinetics and nanostructural evolution of magnesium silicate hydrate (M-S-H) gels, which are used in magnesium-based cements: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

New paper time! We just published this paper in CCR - we used some fancy characterisation and modelling approaches to reveal reaction mechanisms, kinetics, and nanostructural evolution of magnesium silicate hydrate (M-S-H) gels. @SmashUoS @CementsSheff

It's been a pleasure to host Byoungkwan Kim (pictured at the NMR Facility @uniofwarwick) as a Visiting Researcher over summer, where he has extended his work into utilising geopolymers for the disposal of radioactive waste - We look forward to further collaboration in the future!

🎉 Our latest OA article is out 🎉 Here, we show how small dosages of sucrose substantially modify rheology and carbonation rate of lime putty. These findings are relevant for Cultural Heritage applications and development of novel cementitious materials.

Calcined clays have attracted attention in recent years. Their use in cementitious binders is increasing, facilitating the push to lower-carbon concrete. This @RoySocChem article explores the thermodynamics of calcined clays & how they can be utilised:pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…
