W dotychczasowych badaniach autorów dowiedziono, że ziemia ubijana niestabilizowana ze względów wytrzymałościowych może z powodzeniem zostać zastosowana jako materiał do wznoszenia nośnych monolitycznych przegród pionowych. O konieczności zastosowania dodatku stabilizującego do mieszanki ziemi w klimacie umiarkowanym będzie decydować natomiast odporność ziemi na czynniki atmosferyczne. Badania rozpoznawcze wykazały, że próbki ziemi ubijanej niestabilizowanej łatwo rozmiękają w wodzie. W niniejszym artykule przeanalizowano nasiąkliwość ziemi ubijanej stabilizowanej różną ilością cementu CEM I 42,5 R.

The research carried out so far proves that the compacted ground, which is not stabilized for strength reasons, may be successfully used as a material for erection of monolithic vertical bulkheads. When it comes to the need of using a stabilizing additive in the ground mixture in the temperate climate, weather resistance of the ground would be the deciding factor. The initial research shows that the ground samples regarding the compacted, non-stabilized ground are easily softened by water. The present article analyzes the absorptivity of the compacted ground, stabilized with a variety of quantity of CEM I 42.5R cement.

A nanocomposite was fabricated during the research undertaken, consisting of multiwalled carbon nanotubes coated with rhodium nanoparticles by the new high-temperature method being the subject of the patent claim. High quality multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with the length of 100÷500 nm and the diameter of 8÷20 nm obtained in advance with Catalytic Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) were employed in the investigations. The nanotubes manufactured under the own research contain small amounts of metallic impurities and amorphous carbon deposits. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes functionalisation in acids was applied to deposit rhodium nanoparticles onto the surface of carbon nanotubes, and then the material was placed in a solution being a precursor of rhodium nanoparticles. The material prepared was next placed in a quartz vessel and subjected to high-temperature reduction in the atmosphere of argon to deposit rhodium nanoparticles onto the surface of multiwalled carbon nanotubes. The following examinations were performed, respectively: MWCNTs fabrication, fabrication of a CNT-NPs (Carbon NanoTube-NanoParticles) nanocomposite material; the characterisation of the materials produced including examination of the structure and morphology, and the assessment of rhodium nanoparticles distribution on the surface of carbon nanotubes. Micro- and spectroscopy techniques were employed to characterise the structure of the nanocomposites obtained.

he combination of TEM research and Raman spectroscopy to characterization of MWNTs-Re nanocomposites gives a new notion about the structure and quality of materials obtained. TEM studies indicate that the functionalization method significantly influences the morphology of obtained MWCNTs-Re nanocomposites. Due to the specific spectrum recorded for the MWCNTs they can be distinguished from other forms of carbon, furthermore comparative analysis of the results at different stages of the manufacturing process confirms the covalent modification of the MWCNTs structure. The D-band intensity compared to the G-band intensity provides valuable information about the quality of the sample, in particular indicates the existence of contamination and/or the presence of structural defects. Preliminary results suggest that the high-temperature manufacturing process of MWCNTs-Re nanocomposite improves the quality of the carbon material intended for the experiment.
