Modification of cement-based materials with nanoparticles (2013, background): “It has been reported that C–S–H gel with a low Ca/Si ratio is less permeable [31].”
Nucleation and growth models for hydration of cement (2012, methodology): “Garrault and Nonat [19,25] concluded that G2/G1 is about 3–6, which would be near the level at which growth blocking might complicate the calculation [26].”
Concrete material science: Past, present, and future innovations (2018, background): “In our present state of knowledge, this meso-scale structure is considered to be the result of a multi-step process involving (i) nucleation and limited growth of the nuclei to nano-sized particles [49,50,162], (ii) self-catalyzed reproduction by secondary nucleation [175,176], (iii) aggregation, dr”
Effect of fly ash on the kinetics of Portland cement hydration at different curing temperatures (2011, background): “Garrault and Nonat [40] and Bullard and Flatt [41], in studies on C3S hydration in dilute solution (liquid/solid = 50), pointed out that nucleation and growth of C-S-H nuclei at the initial period are faster at low lime (Ca(OH)2) concentrations.”
