Progress in microstructural characterization methods is summarized. Special attention is
given to advanced probes, such as X-ray imaging and spectroscopy, 1 H NMR relaxometry …

Application of micromechanical modelling of hydrated cement paste (HCP) gains more and
more interests in the field of cementitious materials. One of the most promising approaches …

The objective of this study is to assess and compare the effects of different nanoparticles,
namely nano-TiO 2, nano-Al 2 O 3 and nano-Fe 2 O 3, on the performance of self …

The material characteristics and elastic properties of aluminum‐substituted 11 Å tobermorite
in the relict lime clasts of 2000‐year‐old Roman seawater harbor concrete are described …

Abstract Properties and characteristics of fly ash-or slag-based geopolymers have been
extensively explored but comparatively less information is available for natural pozzolan …

Unlocking the full performance capabilities of battery materials will require a thorough
understanding of the underlying electrochemical mechanisms at a variety of length scales. A …

Research on cement-based materials is trying to exploit the synergies that nanomaterials
can provide. This paper describes the findings reported in the last decade on the …

This article describes and interprets data drawn from a thorough characterisation of a series
of cementitious materials. The materials addressed can be divided into three major groups …

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the porosity of cementitious material and the way to
measure it experimentally. Porosity is related to the strength of the material and underpins …

As a very promising sustainable construction material, recycled aggregate concrete (RAC)
has become a hot research topic and attracted wide attention. Although many investigations …
