Aside from water the materials which are used by mankind in highest quantities arecementitious materials and concrete. This book shows how the quality of the technical product depends on mineral phases and their reactions during the hydration and strengthening process. Additives and admixtures infl uence the course of hydration and the properties. Options of reducing the CO2-production in cementitious materials are presented and numerous examples of unhydrous and hydrous phases and their formation conditions are discussed. This editorial work consists of four parts including cement composition and hydration, Special cement and binder mineral phases, Cementitious and binder materials, and Measurement and properties. Every part contains different contributions and covers a broad range within the area. ContentsPart I: Cement composition and hydrationDiffraction and crystallography applied to anhydrous cementsDiffraction and crystallography applied to hydrating cementsSynthesis of highly reactive pure cement phasesThermodynamic modelling of cement hydration: Portland cements - blended cements - calcium sulfoaluminate cements Part II: Special cement and binder mineral phasesRole of hydrotalcite-type layered double hydroxides in delayed pozzolanic reactions and their bearing on mortar datingSetting control of CAC by substituted acetic acids and crystal structures of their calcium saltsCrystallography and crystal chemistry of AFm phases related to cement chemistry Part III: Cementitious and binder materialsChemistry, design and application of hybrid alkali activated bindersBinding materials based on calcium sulphatesMagnesia building material (Sorel cement) - from basics to applicationNew CO2-reduced cementitious systemsComposition and properties of ternary binders Part IV: Measurement and propertiesCharacterization of microstructural properties of Portland cements by analytical scanning electron microscopyCorrelating XRD data with technological propertiesNo cement production without refractories

This book captures the state of the art of the durability of fibre-reinforced strain-hardening cement-based composites (SHCC) and the durability of structures or structural elements manufactured in full or in part with this class of modern construction materials. Highlights include: -       Reflection on durability performance of existing applications in patch repair, a water reservoir and highway bridges. -       Guidelines for tensile testing towards durability assessment of cracked SHCC. -       New crack pattern related ingress rate indices for water and chloride into cracked SHCC. -       The influence of low and high temperatures on SHCC durability performance. -       The mechanism of crack control reducing ASR and corrosion rate, and results on chloride-induced corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement. -       Self-healing of cracks in SHCC. -       A conceptual durability design framework for SHCC and R/SHCC structures and members.  .

This volume provides an overview on the influence of Extracellular Matrix (ECM) on tumor progression. It covers topics such as signaling induced by structural ECM proteins including collagen and fibronectin, the control of ECM deposition and the turnover in tumors. Also discussed are the migration of cells through basement membranes and the function of proteoglycans including lumican and veriscan in tumor progression. Biomaterial-based in-vitro models as well as C. elegans models of the tumor microenvironment are used to show how these models can lead to a greater understanding of the disease mechanisms that promote cancer progression. The book addresses researchers working on cancer biology or ECM, and oncologists alike.
