Cements remain the most commonly used materials worldwide. Portland cement is the worlds most widely manufactured material, yet remains one of the most complex and least understood systems,particularly at the atomic level. Building upon our recent success with tracking setting dynamics of dental cement with VESUVIO, we look to further resolve NCS profiles in portland and novel geopolymer cements. Preliminary NCS measurements of portland cement at 300K shows similar oscilatory trend to the dental cement. To further resolve these trends we propose to track the setting at higher and lower temperatures to resolve its role on atomic-cohesion (bonding). Concurrent prompt gamma activation analyses (PGAA) and novel electrical measurements (of dopant ions) will provide complementary information, whilst helping evolve the scope of simultaneous techniques available on the VESUVIO experiment setup.
