DOI: 10.1021/acsami.7b13309
Abstract: Motivated by recent advances in self-healing cement and epoxy polymer composites, we present a combined ab initio molecular dynamics and sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy study of a calcium-silicate-hydrate/polymer interface. On stable, low-defect surfaces,… read more here.
