Nanotechnology in concrete – A review (2010, background): “cohesion of cement pastes [83,84], and, more recently, for studying the tuning of the mechanical performance of cement systems by engineering the bonding scheme in C–S–H [85] and the molecular interaction with graphitic structure reinforcements [86,87].”
Hysteresis from Multiscale Porosity: Modeling Water Sorption and Shrinkage in Cement Paste (2015, background): “The advantage of our simplified approach is that it leads to essential expressions that highlight clearly the contribution 064009-8 from the underlying physical mechanisms controlling shrinkage in relation to the water content, viz., to the sorption isotherms discussed previously.”
Molecular Dynamics to Understand the Mechanical Behavior of Cement Paste (2010, methodology): “XRD experimental studies of C-S-H concluded that the atomic structure of the smallest C-S-H gel unit is a layered crystal structure similar to that of the minerals tobermorite and jennite, with lamella (C-S-H layer) thickness in the nanometer range (3).”
Advances in characterizing and understanding the microstructure of cementitious materials (2019, background): “Unequivocally, these primitive model studies confirm that the cohesion in cementitious materials is higher in the case of multivalent ions, which explain the high fluidity of alkali sulfate cement systems [272,273,276].”
Mechanical properties of calcium silicate hydrates (2011, background): “Calcium ions contribute to the electrostatic interaction between lamellae that is as strong as Si–O-Si chemical bonds [50].”
