• Effects of colloidal nanosilica on rheological and mechanical properties of fly ash–cement mortar (2013, background): “nucleation seeding effect and pozzolanic reactivity of the nanoparticle [17], there are some results that show nanoparticles can have an adverse effect on later-age strength gain [11,18,19].”
• Use of bacterial cell walls to improve the mechanical performance of concrete (2013, positive): “Fourth, it is possible that bacterial cell walls, via the negative charges carried, may directly act as nucleation center for concrete hydration, similar to the report for the role of negatively charged C–S–H particle as nucleation center in concrete hydration [26].”
• A review on the properties, reinforcing effects, and commercialization of nanomaterials for cement-based materials (2020, background): “Nano-C-S-H gel is a new type of nanomaterial developed in recent years, and it was reported that the synthetic C-S-H can significantly promote the hydration of C3S in cement [70,71,121].”
• Understanding the behaviour of graphene oxide in Portland cement paste (2018, background): “One way to find the rate-controlling process is to add seeds 682 (usually C–S–H) to alite/cement pastes [49].”
