Templating effect of alginate and related biopolymers as hydration accelerators for calcium alumina cement - A mechanistic study

In earlier publications it has been demonstrated that alginate and similarly structured biopolymers unexpectedly accelerate the hydration of calcium alumina cement. Here, this effect is investigated by applying 27Al MAS NMR spectroscopy and XRD technique to track the hydration reaction and identify...
