Hydration of Cement01:24

Hydration of Cement

439
Hydration of cement is a chemical reaction between cement particles and water. This process occurs primarily through two mechanisms: through-solution and topochemical. In the through-solution process, anhydrous compounds dissolve into their constituents, hydrates form in the solution, and then precipitate from the supersaturated solution. The topochemical process involves solid-state reactions at the cement particle surface. The through-solution process dominates the topochemical process at the...

Waterproofing and Anti-Bacterial Admixtures in Concrete01:22

Waterproofing and Anti-Bacterial Admixtures in Concrete

120
Concrete's susceptibility to water absorption is due to the capillary action within the pores of its hydrated cement paste. This action draws water in, creating the need for waterproofing admixtures to prevent such penetration. The efficacy of these admixtures is contingent upon the water pressure, with variations arising from different conditions such as rain, capillary rise, or hydrostatic pressure in structures intended to hold water.
Waterproofing admixtures render concrete hydrophobic,...

Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Biochemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Biopreservation relies on protecting biomolecules from damage.
  • Trehalose is known to stabilize proteins and other biomolecules.
  • Understanding the role of water in these protective mechanisms is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the properties of hydration water in a lysozyme-trehalose aqueous solution.
  • To elucidate the molecular interactions between lysozyme, trehalose, and water.
  • To explore the biopreservation mechanism involving trehalose at high concentrations.

Main Methods:

  • Broad-band depolarized light scattering spectroscopy.
  • Infrared spectroscopy.
  • Comparative analysis of binary (lysozyme-water, trehalose-water) and ternary solutions.

Main Results:

  • The study revealed that lysozyme remains strongly hydrated in the ternary mixture due to preferential hydration.
  • Evidence supports a water entrapment model where water is held between the protein and trehalose.
  • The combined spectroscopic techniques provided insights into inter- and intra-molecular dynamics.

Conclusions:

  • Trehalose at high concentrations (above 30% w/w) promotes significant hydration of lysozyme.
  • The water entrapment mechanism effectively shields the protein from external damaging agents.
  • This finding validates the protective role of trehalose-water interactions in biopreservation.
