- Abstract:
- A mortar hybrid material is presented in which biomineralization processes are stimulated by adding a biological component, i.e., bacterial biofilm, to standard mortar. A material is obtained that exhibits increased roughness on the microscale and the nanoscale. Accordingly, the hybrid mortar not only resists wetting but also suppresses the uptake of water by capillary forces.
