The Effects of Different Nanoadditives on the Physical and Mechanical Properties of Similar Silty Mudstone Materials by Ji-jing Wang, Zhen-ning Shi, Ling Zeng, Shuang-xing Qi

“…This is due to the incorporation of the nanoadditive amount effective to promote the hydration reaction of gypsum and accelerate the production of cement, while a similar material may be filled in the pores, reducing the internal defects, a similar material to make denser; when excessive dosage, nanoadditives agglomeration occurs, resulting in deterioration of the effect, but will reduce the mechanical properties of similar materials. (2) When the content of NBe is 6%, the physical and mechanical parameters of similar materials can reach or be closer to the silty raw rock except uniaxial compressive strength. …”

Organic Glass-Forming Liquids and the Concept of Fragility by Alba-Simionesco, Christiane

“…An isochoric fragility index is defined as an intrinsic property of a given liquid, that can help in rationalizing all the correlations between the glass properties below $T_g$ and the viscous slowing down just above $T_g$ from which they are made. Geometrical confinement of liquids is also a way to modify the dynamics of a liquid and the properties of a glass; it corresponds to a large number of situations encountered in nature. …”
