The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Evolution of pore structure in blended systems (2015, methodology): “Solvent exchange followed by vacuum drying seems to be the best method to stop the hydration [9,11–13] although isopropanol might affect the very small gel porosity of the C–S–H [14].”
Impact of accelerated carbonation on OPC cement paste blended with fly ash (2015, background): “It is known that the choice of the pre-treatment method strongly impacts the obtained result [36, 37].”
Pore structure characterization of cement pastes blended with high-volume fly-ash (2012, background): “Note that the solvent may alter the microstructure of cement-based materials [23,24], this drying technique is retained in this study just for comparison of porosity”
The influence of different drying techniques on the water sorption properties of cement-based materials (2014, methodology): “For that reason, this drying technique is used frequently for MIP and TGA measurements [12] as it also stops hydration.”
Effect of limestone fillers on microstructure and permeability due to carbonation of cement pastes under controlled CO2 pressure conditions (2015, unknown): “This method is found to be a good technique to preserve microstructure for SEM analysis [35].”
