Mechanical properties and humidity absorption measured through impedance spec…

Abstract. We report the use of impedance spectroscopy to study the development of both, high compressive strength and low water absorption for different sand–bentonite mixtures+copolymer (styrene)-co-(methyl acrylate)-asphalt emulsion used for adobe production. Impedance spectra consisted of two semicircular arcs related to electrical properties and capillary porosity of the sand–bentonite…
