DOI: 10.1007/s10853-017-1464-0
Abstract: Abstract Most concrete produced includes chemical admixtures such as air entrainers, set modifiers, water reducers, etc., many of which include organic molecules. Hydroxycarboxylic acids, in particular, retard portland cement hydration. The interaction of such acids… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10973-025-14162-3
Abstract: Isothermal heat flow calorimetry is a valuable characterization method for cementitious materials. Although the method is very precise, it is mostly employed qualitatively, i.e., by visual comparison of individual curves in cementitious systems. Here, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-10306-0
Abstract: SuperAbsorbent Polymers (SAPs) can be applied as an admixture in cementitious materials. As the polymers are able to swell, they will absorb part of the mixing water and can then release that water back towards… read more here.

The shard test and nanoporomechanics reverse classical paradigm of cement hydration being contractive
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America"
DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2418448121
Abstract: Significance The shrinkage cracking of concrete greatly shortens the durability of structures, leading to excessive deformations and allowing ingress of various corrosive agents. The consequent repairs or premature replacements of structures increase demand for cement… read more here.
