    Abstract: In recent years, there is a great interest in replacing a long time used materials in concrete structure by nanomaterials (NMs) to produce a concrete with novel functions. NMs are used either to replace a part of cement, producing ecological profile concrete or as admixtures in cement pastes. The great reactivity of NMs is attributed to their high ... Show More

    Abstract: This study concerns the results of Physicochemical and mineralogical characterization of a white clay located in Taza region in Morocco and its use in the ceramics industry. Several techniques were used; in particular X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy coupled with EDX microanalysis (SEM-EDX), differential thermal and gravimetric... Show More
