Modeling and simulation of cement hydration kinetics and microstructure development (2011, methodology): “The linear growth rate has also been measured directly by observing the growth of hydration product on a flat C3S surface using AFM [87], resulting in values of G=0.”
Encapsulation of expansive powder minerals within a concentric glass capsule system for self-healing concrete (2016, background): “The microstructural development and solution chemistry during hydration in healing process either follows metastable barrier hypothesis [42,43] or the slow dissolution step hypothesis [44,45] during self-healing materials proliferation.”
Nanotechnology in concrete – A review (2010, background): “tricalcium silicate grains indicated that the formation of C–S–H occurred as an agglomeration of identical elementary clusters with sizes on the order of 60 30 5 nm(3) [23,24].”
Modelling Elasticity of a Hydrating Cement Paste (2007, unknown): “This growth seems to occur by aggregation of small flattened particles of C-S-H whose largest face is parallel to the surface of the grain [9,19].”
Thermodynamic equilibrium calculations in cementitious systems (2010, background): “solids one might include both dissolution as well as precipitation kinetics in the thermodynamic calculations [89, 91, 155].”
