Debates remain on the influencing factor and long-term performance of CSH-seeded paste.
In this study, phase-pure seeds were prepared from diluted Ca 3 SiO 5 hydration. The seed …

The development of green cements and reduced cement contents in concrete for reducing
CO 2 emissions, often results in reduced hydration activity and strength, especially in early …

The microstructure of Portland and calcined clay cement paste incorporating calcium-silicate-
hydrate (C–S–H) seed was investigated to understand the role of nucleation seed in cement …

The development of green cements, with the aim of reducing CO 2 emissions, often results
in reduced hydration activity, especially during the first hours and days. Nucleation seeding …

In this study, calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) is synthesized and characterized. CSH slurry
was made with calcium oxide (CaO) to micro-silica (SiO2) mixture ratio of 1.5 and enough …

The nanostructure, physical properties and mechanical performance of CSH, the principal
component in cement-based materials, was studied. Synthetic CSH of variable composition …

The early age-hydration of tricalcium silicate, the main chemical compound in Portland
cement, was studied in the presence of synthetic calcium silicate hydrate (C–S–H) addition …

The relation between the chemical composition of calcium–silicate–hydrate (C–S–H)
phases and its influence on the compressive strength of cementitious materials is …

Calcium silicate hydrate (CSH), as the main hydration product in hardened Portland cement,
significantly affects its mechanical properties and durability. A profound insight into …

The formation of CSH in cementitious materials is critical to their gain in strength. As one of
the key parameters, pH is reported to affect the nucleation and growth of CSH; however, the …
