Portland Cement (or simply "cement") is the single most commonly used building material in the world today. Applications relating to the energy services industry are the primary focus of this work. In particular, the book is aimed at providing a primer for engineers in the oil industry. A knowledge of cement chemistry and the setting characteristics as well as strength development and retarder kinetics is of crucial importance to a successful "cement job". This was nowhere more obvious when it was decisions over cement stability that ultimately led to the deadly explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig on 20 April 2010, while drilling at the Macondo Prospect.
After having gained his BSc and PhD degrees from Imperial College (London) and performing post-doctoral research at the University of Texas at Austin, Barron spent eight years as a Professor of Chemistry at Harvard University before moving to Rice University in 1995 where he is the Welch Chair of Chemistry and Professor of Nanoengineering and Materials Science. In 2014 he was appointed the Sêr Cymru Chair of Low Carbon Energy and Environment at Swansea University, and founded the Energy Safety Research Institute, where he is the Director. He is a visiting professor at both the University of Arizona and Universiti Technology Brunei. He is the author of over 550 publications, 40 Patents, 15 books, and has graduated 30 PhD students. His early research focused on the chemistry of aluminum and related elements and spanned catalysis, electronic materials and nanotechnology. His current research involves the application of chemistry, nanotechnology and materials science to fundamental problems in energy, the environment and industrial decarbonization. Prof. Barron is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and the recipient of several awards, including: Star of Asia International Award, the Hümboldt Senior Scientist Research Award, the Corday Morgan Medal, the Meldola Medal, and the first Welch Foundation Norman Hackerman Award. In 2009 Barron was appointed as the Prince of Wales Visiting Innovator. In 2011 he won both the Lifetime Achievement Award in Nanotechnology and the World Technology Award (in Materials). Barron is the co-founder of several companies over a diverse range of industries. His latest commercialization ventures are technologies for water purification of produced water and an anti-viral mask for the COVID crisis. In addition to teaching in chemistry and materials science, Prof. Barron created the first educational programs at Rice University to span the schools of Science, Engineering and Management. For relaxation Barron races cars, as both an amateur and professional, on both sides of the Atlantic.
