Basics of binder technology, edited by L. M. Sulimenko, with participation in . G. Savelyeva and . N. Quietly, it is a unique educational tool that will become an indispensable assistant for students, graduate students and specialists in the field of construction technologies. This publication covers a wide range of topics related to binder materials, their properties, applications and technological processes, making it relevant to both the educational process and practical activities in construction. From the first pages of the book, the reader plunges into the world of binders, such as cements, limes, and casts. The authors carefully explain what binders are, how they interact with other components in building mixtures, and what factors affect their quality and durability. The book not only provides theoretical knowledge, but also includes practical examples, which allows readers to better understand how to apply this knowledge in real-world conditions. This manual will be of particular interest to students of construction specialties, as well as engineers and architects who want to deepen their knowledge in the field of materials science. It is suitable for those who are interested in modern technologies in construction and want to master the basics of working with binder materials. The book can also be useful for teachers who are looking for quality teaching materials for their courses. The topics raised in the book cover not only the physical and chemical properties of binders, but also their impact on the strength and durability of building structures. The authors discuss modern methods of testing and quality control, which is an important aspect for ensuring the reliability and safety of buildings and structures. An important part of the publication is the consideration of environmental aspects related to the production and use of binders, which makes it relevant in the light of current trends in sustainable construction. The style of the authors is distinguished by clarity and accessibility of the presentation, which allows even complex technical aspects to be perceived easily and with interest. L. M. Sulimenko, known for his work in the field of construction technologies, together with colleagues created a manual that not only informatively, but also inspires further research and practical experiments. Readers familiar with Sulimenko's other works will appreciate his ability to combine theory with practice, making each page of the book useful and informative. If you are looking for a binder tutorial that will be useful for both study and practical work, then “Fundamentals of binder technology” is exactly what you need. This is a book that will not only expand your knowledge, but also help you become a more confident specialist in the field of construction. Do not miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of binders and discover their amazing possibilities!
