A study of blast furnace slag on the mechanical properties improvement and microstructure of hemihydrate phosphogypsum pretreated by calcium hydroxide by Liya Zhao, Chunwei Wang, Seunghyun Na, Yuzhong Jin, Wenjing Kang, Jianping Zhu, Wenyan Zhang, Yadong Bian, Surendra P. Shah

“…Phosphogypsum (PG) pretreatment with calcium hydroxide (CH) effectively reduces environmental pollution but inversely decreases the mechanical strength of the hardened paste, which leads to its relatively low utilization rate in construction industry. Therefore, in order to enhance the properties of PG pretreated with CH, this study mainly investigate the addition of blast furnace slag (BFS) on the proeperties and microstructure of pretreated hemihydrate phosphogypsum by calcium hydroxide. …”

Investigation on the Electron Emission Regularity of Sputtered Boron Nitride Thin Films and Microstructured Array Surfaces by Yuqing Gu, Juannan Li, Dan Wang

“…The results of laser etching on the BN bulk surface to form microarray structures show that the EEC of BN bulk decreases significantly with the increase of the average aspect ratio of the microstructures. The EEC peak values of the BN bulks decrease from 2.62 to 1.16 when the porosity of the BN bulk reaches 49.11% and the aspect ratio reaches 1.36, indicating that constructing a surface microstructure is an effective method to achieve EEC reduction. …”
