    Abstract: A reclamation fill stabilizing composition for accelerated soil stabilization of high water-content waste soils/marine mud. The fill stabilizing composition includes a hydrolysis polymerization agent for chemically reacting with water in waste soil/marine mud. A gelling geopolymerization agent chemically and physically locks the water in its formed 3-D aluminosilicate microstructure. A sol-gel immobilization agent chemically and physically traps the water by reacting and bonding with the water. A nano-modification agent provides additional crystal nuclei to increase the effects of hydrolysis polymerization, gelling geopolymerization, and sol-gel immobilization. The reclamation fill stabilizing composition is mixed with high water-content waste soil such as marine mud. The marine mud is rapidly transformed into a compactable fill material within a stabilization curing period as short as 3 hours. Following stabilization, the treated marine mud is compacted (e.g., with a vibratory roller) into a layer of about 240 \~300mm with adequate stiffness (CBR value of at least 15%).

    Abstract: Efflorescence resistance of concrete blocks is enhanced through the use of glass powder in the concrete composition. The glass powder permits a reduction in the cement content; the glass powder also creates a pozzolanic reaction to change the free calcium ions in calcium hydroxide to calcium silicate to fix the calcium ions inside concrete. The composition includes cementitious binding material of ordinary Portland cement, fly ash, calcium sulfoaluminate cement, ground-granulated blast-furnace slag in an amount from 20 to 25 wt. %. Coarse aggregate is provided from 10 to 15 wt. percent. Fine aggregate is from 32 to 39 wt. %. The composition further includes glass powder having a diameter of less than approximately 75 microns in an amount from 17 to 23 wt. %. Water is present in an amount from 6 to 9 wt. %. The dry density of formed paving blocks is 1800-2200 kg/m3.

    Abstract: A durable, hydrophobic and anti-scratching nano-coating for coating on a glass substrate or surface having a water contact angle of about 90° or more, a reduced coefficient of friction by 50% or more, and a reduced surface roughness compared to those of the glass substrate or surface without the nano-coating is provided, which includes a layer of fluorinated silica derived from sol-gel hydrolysis between one or more tetraalkoxysilanes having at least three alkoxy groups and one or more polyfluorinated silanes having at least a trialkoxysilane and from 15 to 17 fluorine atoms in the presence of a catalyst to a reaction mixture of the sol-gel hydrolysis between the one or more tetraalkoxysilanes and the one or more polyfluorinated silanes, and a solvent. A related method of fabricating the nano-coating via atomization of acid-containing or alkali-containing solution and sol-gel precursor solution onto the glass surface is also provided.
