“…Materials with altered hydrophobic or hydrophilic properties by improving their performance with various additives are found in many sectors on production of products [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. In addition, this issue has been widely discussed in scientific studies in different areas such as soil improvement, coating of materials, enhancing hydrophobic properties to concrete and cement-based materials, and reducing the effect of corrosion in reinforcement steel [8,11,[23][24][25][26][27][28].…”
