Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics
  • Optics

Composite material, Cement, Chloride, Corrosion and Microstructure are his primary areas of study. His study explores the link between Composite material and topics such as Thermal diffusivity that cross with problems in Sorptivity. His Cement research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Porosity, Curing and Mineralogy.

His Chloride study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ion content and Calcium. He combines subjects such as Inorganic chemistry, Diffusion, Reinforced concrete and Dissolution with his study of Corrosion. N.R. Buenfeld has included themes like Solution chemistry and Chemical engineering in his Metallurgy study.

His most cited work include:

  • The presentation of the chloride threshold level for corrosion of steel in concrete (385 citations)
  • Factors influencing chloride-binding in concrete (240 citations)
  • The influence of chloride binding on the chloride induced corrosion risk in reinforced concrete (218 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

N.R. Buenfeld focuses on Composite material, Cement, Chloride, Corrosion and Mortar. His Cement research incorporates elements of Curing, Backscattered electron and Chemical engineering. His Chloride research focuses on subjects like Halide, which are linked to Sodium.

The various areas that N.R. Buenfeld examines in his Corrosion study include Reinforced concrete and Dissolution. The Mortar study combines topics in areas such as Volume fraction, Coating and Permeability. The Porosity study combines topics in areas such as Aggregate, Thermal diffusivity, Mineralogy and Durability.

  • Chloride (29.20%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Composite material (53.28%)
  • Cement (43.80%)
  • Porosity (17.52%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Composite material, Cement, Porosity, Durability and Cementitious. His research on Composite material frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Thermal diffusivity. His Cement research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Curing and Backscattered electron.

His study in Curing is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Metallurgy and Permeation. N.R. Buenfeld has researched Porosity in several fields, including Brightness and Mineralogy. N.R. Buenfeld interconnects Surface finish and Microstructure in the investigation of issues within Durability.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Modelling the diffusivity of mortar and concrete using a three-dimensional mesostructure with several aggregate shapes (103 citations)
  • The steel-concrete interface (98 citations)
  • Self-sealing of cracks in concrete using superabsorbent polymers (88 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics
  • Optics

N.R. Buenfeld mainly investigates Composite material, Wetting, Thermal diffusivity, Volume fraction and Aggregate. His primary area of study in Composite material is in the field of Sorptivity. His Thermal diffusivity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Porosity and Properties of concrete.

His work carried out in the field of Porosity brings together such families of science as Representative elementary volume and Mortar. His Volume fraction research integrates issues from Finite element method, Absorption of water and Tortuosity. His Aggregate study combines topics in areas such as Durability, Cement, Permeability, Scanning electron microscope and Microstructure.
