X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful technique for the study of crystalline materials. The technique of Rietveld refinement now enables the amounts of different phases in anhydrous cementitious materials to be determined to a good degree of precision. Thi ...
During the last 20 years, backscattered electron imaging of polished surfaces has become well established as a method for the study of cement and concrete microstructures. The technique has many advantages, including the visualisation of representative cro ...
Cement pastes aged from 1 to 60 days were studied using synchrotron microtomography on the MS-X04SA beam line at the Swiss Light Source. This allowed three dimensional images to be obtained with a resolution approaching that of backscattered electron image ...
Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) have been used to study the microstructural changes and phase development that take place during the hydration of cubic (pure) and orthorhombic (Na-doped) tricalcium aluminate ...
The enhancement of the 1 day strength of cementinous systems by a combination of calcium chlonde (CaCl2) and diethanol-isopropanolamine (DEIPA) was studied, particularly in blended cement systems A combination of quantitative X-ray diffraction with Rietvel ...
Syntheses of ZSM-5 coatings on stainless steel plates were carried out via the substrate heating method. The reaction mixture was kept at temperatures below 100 °C, while the metal plates were heated to temperatures above 100 °C. It was demonstrated that c ...
The water-absorption behavior of cement pastes (w/c=0.30) containing varying concentrations (i.e., 0, 0.2, and 5%) of a shrinkage-reducing admixture (SRA) was measured. Moisture ingress was monitored using X-ray absorption. A decrease in both the depth of ...
Backscattered electron (BSE) images of heat-cured concretes show alite grains surrounded by inner C-S-H gel of two distinct grey levels (referred to as two-tone inner C-S-H gel). The lighter rim forms at elevated temperature whereas the darker rim develops ...
X-ray powder diffraction allows direct measurement of the phase content in cement. More recently, whole pattern approaches such as the Rietveld method show an improvement in both within (repeatability) and between laboratory (reproducibility) precision. Th ...
This work presents the preliminary results on application of mineral sacrificial layer that is prepared to structure LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramic). The proposed method suggests utilization of a sacrificial paste, which remains "permanent" during ...
