The Influence of Cellulose Nanocrystals on the Hydration and Flexural Strength of Portland Cement Pastes

Recent research has shown that cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) can be used at low dosage levels (approximately 0.2% by volume of cement) to increase the extent of hydration and to improve the flexural strength of cement pastes. However, the previous work was based on using a CNC made from a single sou...
