Towards tailored cement-based materials with ground calcium carbonates

Emmanuel Denarié, Lionel Sofia

Proportioning the dosage of Ground Calcium Carbonates (GCC) in cementitious materials, beyond current normative levels, is one of the most promising ways towards sustainability of mortar and concrete technology. Performance parameters such as the water/bin ...

Limestone calcined clay cements (LC3): raw material processing, sulfate balance and hydration kinetics

Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

Limestone calcined clay cements (LC3) are blended cements that combine clinker, limestone, calcined clay and gypsum. The availability of the materials required to produce LC3 and the good performance that it achieves, makes LC3 suitable as a sustainable re ...

Catechol Containing Polyelectrolyte Complex Nanoparticles as Local Drug Delivery System for Bortezomib at Bone Substitute Materials

Martin Guillermo Mueller, Jeremy Pak Hei Wong

The proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (BZM) is one of the most potent anti-cancer drugs in the therapy of multiple myeloma. In this study, an adhesive drug delivery system (DDS) for BZM was developed. Therefore, we extended the present DDS concept of polyele ...

The Influence of some calcined clays from Nigeria as clinker substitute in cementitious systems

Karen Scrivener, François Henri Avet, Akindehinde Ayotunde Akindahunsi

This paper examines the possibility of the use of some clays calcined from Nigeria as partial substitutes for clinker in the production of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3). The clays were calcined in the oven at a temperature of 800 degrees C and for o ...

The effect of sodium hydroxide on Al uptake by calcium silicate hydrates (C S H)

Christian Ludwig, Barbara Lothenbach, Sonya Barzgar, Mohamed Tarik, Alessio Di Giacomo

To reduce the CO2 emissions from cement production, Portland cement (PC) is partially replaced by supplementary cementitious materials (SCM). Reactions of SCM with PC during hydration leads to the formation of CSH with more silicon and aluminum than in PC, ...

Impacting factors and properties of limestone calcined clay cements (LC3)

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva, François Henri Avet, Julien Ston, Aurélie Rosine Favier, Hamed Maraghechi, Wilasinee Hanpongpun

This paper details the main factors influencing the performance of limestone calcined clay cements (LC3). The kaolinite content plays a major role in the rheological properties as well as strength development. Even in the presence of secondary phases, kaol ...

The influence of the filler effect on the sulfate requirement of blended cements

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

In some blended cements, the optimum amount of sulfate addition differs from that observed in OPC. This study aims to understand the mechanism behind the impact of two SCMs, namely metakaolin and limestone, on the sulfate balance of blended cements. No sig ...

Chemical shrinkage of ye'elimite with and without gypsum addition

Karen Scrivener, Mohsen Ben Haha, Frank Bullerjahn

Ye'elimite (Ca4Al6O12SO4 or C(4)A(3)S) is the main hydraulic mineral present in calcium sulphoaluminate cement (CSA). Its reaction is responsible for the (early) hydration and associated cement properties such as the chemical shrinkage. This paper discusse ...

Rapid evaluation of bioactive Ti-based surfaces using an in vitro titration method

Paul Bowen, Jacques Lemaître, Weitian Zhao

The prediction of implant behavior in vivo by the use of easy-to-perform in vitro methods is of great interest in biomaterials research. Simulated body fluids (SBFs) have been proposed and widely used to evaluate the bone-bonding ability of implant materia ...

Characterisation and hydration of ye'elimite containing cements

Frank Bullerjahn

Calcium sulphoaluminate cements (CSA) with the main phase yeâ elimite are a promising class of non-Portland cements which are gaining increasing interest from the cement industry. However, the hydration kinetics of CSA cements varies strongly, even for ce ...
