The grey colour of ordinary Portland cement is due to the presence of ferrite, the presence of which is unwelcome in White Portland cement (WPC)

Cement powders contain four major hydraulic constituents, ie clinker phases, which hydrate at different rates and thus influence important factors such as setting time, workability and mechanical strength

Hydration of the two calcium silicate clinker phases, C3S and C2S proceeds, after an initial induction period, to form a poorly-defined calcium silicate hydrate

The Materials and Engineering Research Institute is offering numerous PhD/MPhil research opportunities for postgraduate students interested in the field of sustainable construction

In collaboration with the Instituto de Cienncia y Tecnologia de Polimeros (Madrid) we have examined the extent of the surface modification of a polymeric membrane. The polymer (PVC) was modified according to the following reaction scheme

The objective of this project is to bind sand grains together whilst maintaining formation porosity and fluid flow

Research into corrosion fatigue failure of a stainless steel stud by Sheffield Hallam University's Materials and Engineering Research Institute

We aimed to develop an expert system to enable the optimisation of repairs and maintenance solutions for reinforced concrete highway bridges

MERI has facilities available for humidity testing and neutral salt spray testing to ASTM Standard B117

Corrosion tests can be performed on metals, alloys and metallic coatings, such as hot-dip and electroplated surfaces
