Microstructure-driven enhancement of cement mortar using high-entropy oxides for improved strength, durability, and corrosion resistance
This study investigates the influence of high-entropy oxide (HEO) fine powder with submicron agglomerates (Mg₀.₂Ni₀.₂Co₀.₂Cu₀.₂Zn₀.₂O) on the mechanical performance, microstructural development, and durability characteristics of cement-based mortars. HEO was synthesized via a modified sol–gel method and incorporated...
