Hemicarbonate is observed in hydrated cement paste even after prolonged hydration and in
the presence of calcium carbonate, although monocarbonate is expected to be …

The aim of the study was to analyze the chemical–physical properties and bioactivity (apatite-
forming ability) of three recently introduced premixed bioceramic root canal sealers …

XRD measurements of the hydration of synthetical cement (SyCem) were used to calculate
the resulting heat flow from changes in the phase content. Calculations were performed by …

The effects of carbonation of mechanochemically prepared C–S–H samples under ambient
conditions for upto 6 months have been investigated by Raman spectroscopy and X‐ray …

The carbonation of C 3 A and pre-hydrated C 3 A was studied at different initial pH values,
temperatures, pre-hydration and carbonation times. Based on these investigations, the …

Understanding the hydration kinetics and interactions of hydration products of cement
components with chlorides is crucial for designing durable cement-based materials. The …
