A Review on Hybrid Inorganic–Polymer Analog Nanocomposites Incorporating Pozzolanic Wastes and nano-Additives
Abstract: The recent progress of polymer matrix nanocomposites (PMNCs) reveals that the performance of matrix and filler is at the core of matrix–filler interaction, interfacial bonding, and well-controlled distribution of nanoscale reinforcements. Applying these concepts, we consider inorganic particulate systems as hybrid nanocomposites, in which a discontinuous inorganic matrix is effectively reinforced via synergistic co-incorporation of pozzolanic wastes and nano-additives. In the composite system described above, silica-, alumina-rich pozzolanic materials serve …

Review of Amphibious Structures as A Flood Resilience Strategy Around the World
Abstract: Over time, people have settled in communities that are fluvial flood zones and located at low elevations due to limited access to land, strong cultural ties that continue for generations, and economic factors that make relocation nearly impossible. "Our homes are stitched into the landscape," some say, "we have nowhere else to go." However, when the water continues to invade year after year, these populations face a perpetual threat to …
