Development and Characterization of Engineering Superhydrophobic Silica Sol for Enhanced Subsurface Stability and Seepage Control

Abstract

AbstractThis investigation employed polydimethylsiloxane (PMHS) for the surface modification of silica sol, preparing a novel grouting material with superhydrophobic properties. Subsequently, testing and microscopic characterization of the ...Practical ApplicationsA significant outcome of this research is the independent development of a novel curve-directed grouting reinforcement system. Integrating this system with the newly developed superhydrophobic grout offers a powerful solution for ...
