A review on the mechanical properties of cement-based materials measured by nanoindentation (2015, result): “While, in cement paste at high water to cement ratio, the third phase is more likely to be CH (Calcium hydroxide) rather than UHD phase, as indicated in some works [9,10,21].”
Long-term creep properties of cementitious materials: Comparing microindentation testing with macroscopic uniaxial compressive testing (2014, background): “The possibility to measure viscous properties by indentation in 48 particular has been shown on polymers [23, 18], metals [27], cementitious 49 materials [33, 8, 34, 24], and so on.”
On the use of peak-force tapping atomic force microscopy for quantification of the local elastic modulus in hardened cement paste (2012, background): “In particular, the issues of the surface roughness due to the intrinsic porosity of cementitious materials [1], the partial volume effects within the nanoindentation interaction volumes [2,3] and the statistical evaluation of the elastic modulus histograms [4] were shown to pose serious obstacles fo”
