Correlation between nanomechanical properties and microstructural design concepts of bivalve muscle attachment sites by S. Hoerl, C. Micheletti, S. Amini, E. Griesshaber, K.-U. Hess, A.G. Checa, M. Peharda, W.W. Schmahl

“…While the function and structure of adductor muscles can vary, the shell-muscle attachment develops the myostracum, a unique microstructural design. Sectioned parallel and perpendicular to the inner shell surface, we investigated myostracal and non-myostracal microstructures, textures and nanomechanical properties for three bivalve species: The burrowing Glycymeris pilosa, the sessile Chama arcana and the swimming Placopecten magellanicus.Analyses were conducted using electron backscatter diffraction measurements, laser confocal and backscatter electron imaging, nanoindentation testing and thermogravimetric analysis. …”

Impact of Inorganic Salts on Rheology, Strength, and Microstructure of Excess-Sulfate Phosphogypsum Slag Cement by Zhe Chen, Zixin Xue, Yong Xia, Chunli Wu, Junming Mai, Weisen Liu, Yuan Feng, Jianhe Xie

“…This study, therefore, systematically investigates the effect of various salts (NaCl, MgCl₂, KCl, and Na₂SO₄) at different concentrations (0.5–1.5%) on the hydration mechanism and performance of EPSC using rheometry, strength tests, and microstructural characterization (XRD/SEM-EDS). The findings reveal that EPSC exhibits low initial yield stress and plastic viscosity, both of which increase over time. …”
