Nanostructure and Nanomechanics of Cement: Polydisperse Colloidal Packing

Nanostructure and Nanomechanics of Cement: Polydisperse Colloidal Packing

Cement setting and cohesion are governed by the precipitation and growth of calcium-silicate-hydrate, through a complex evolution of microstructure. A colloidal model to describe nucleation, packing, and rigidity of calcium-silicate-hydrate aggregates is proposed. Polydispersity and particle size de...
