The pair distribution function (PDF) method provides a useful way of characterizing the
diverse and richly complex local structures in perovskite dielectric and ferroelectric …

Tricalcium silicate, the main constituent of Portland cement, hydrates to produce crystalline
calcium hydroxide and calcium-silicate-hydrates (CSH) nanocrystalline gel. This hydration …

Ye'elimite occurs in nature and in calcium sulfoaluminate cements. The thermodynamic
properties of synthetic orthorhombic ye'elimite, Ca 4 Al 6 O 12 SO 4, were determined …

This paper investigated the influence of hydration temperature on the nanostructure of the
AH 3 phase formed in calcium sulfoaluminate cements. Orthorhombic ye'elimite (st …

This work investigates the role of different nanosilica (NS) sources on the rheology and early-
age hydration of calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement paste. Specifically, pastes were …

There is still an ongoing debate on the mechanisms of expansion of calcium sulfoaluminate
(CSA) cements, which can be either favourable, for example, in shrinkage compensating …

Calcium aluminate cements are used for special applications but are nowadays banned for
general structural purposes due to the calcium aluminate hydrate conversion, that has led …

Calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) is the main binding phase in Portland cement. The addition
of CSH nanoparticles as nucleation seeds has successfully been used to accelerate the …

The hydration of synthetic ye'elimite was studied with sulfate carriers in a stoichiometric
ettringite binder system. Heat flow calorimetry, in-situ XRD, 1 H-TD-NMR and pore solution …

Recently, the trend of replacing cement with mineral admixtures in concrete has witnessed
increasing interest in the construction industry due to the reduction in embodied energy and …
