Insight into the hydration
evolution of cement
|
- sample is sandwiched between
two Si3N4 windows
- highly diluted samples (ratio
water/cement is 5 before centrifugation)
- Imaging starts within 6 minutes
after mixing, under atmospheric pressure and room
temperature
- evolution is followed for
several hours
