Iron nanoparticles (nanoFE) react with the natural colloids of the cement
(portlandites and tobermorites), generating a hard and resistant matrix,
concentrations of cement vary from(2.5 to 6%) depending on the
requirements
Polymer chains on the surface of the nanoFe particles provide a self-
binding capacity by increasing the dynamic support force
This process reduces the specific surface area of soils due to the
agglomeration and setting effect of the fine particles, which will be
coated with submicronic water-repellent particles supplied by the
polymer
This effect occurs both at depth and in the surface layers, resulting in
greater structural impermeability and positively influencing sensitivity to
water, the main problem in the maintenance and stabilization of any type
of soil with a high content of active fine particles
