This paper reviews the state of the field of nanotechnology in concrete. Definitions of
nanotechnology, including nanoscience and nano-engineering in concrete, are provided …

In this review we focus on the technology associated with low-field NMR. We present the
current state-of-the-art in low-field NMR hardware and experiments, considering general …

Early-age reaction kinetics of geopolymers is one of the challenging issues associated to
their mechanical performances and durability. In this work, the early-age reaction of …

In this paper, the superabsorbent polymer (SAP) was applied as internal curing agent to
study its effect on the autogenous shrinkage and hydration property of alkali activated slag …

Pore Structure of Cement-Based Materials provides a thorough treatment of the
experimental techniques used to characterize the pore structure of materials. The text …

The dynamic pore structure of partially saturated cement-based material is rather essential
to quantify its mass transport and many other properties. To clarify the influence of water …

In this study, the rate of change of microstructural re-organization in hardened cement paste
under the first drying, which is caused by the colloidal nature of calcium-silicate-hydrate …

In the present study, we used low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR)
measurements and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) to evaluate the influence of the …

The intrinsic permeability of porous medium is theoretically independent of percolating
fluids. While concerning cementitious material, its water permeability is anomalously lower …

1H nuclear magnetic resonance has been applied to cement pastes, and in particular
calcium silicate hydrate (C–S–H), for the characterisation of porosity and pore water …
