Resolving the manifold setting structure of protiated vs D2O portland cements
Models of cement have been formulated to further understanding. The dominant being Jennings layered colloid model. Therein, idealised silicate layers are interspersed with... -
Atomic and Ionic Mobility in Glass Ionomer Cements (GICs)
A proposal is made to measure atom/ion mobility/diffusion in GIC samples. Vesuvio is ideal to explore diffusion of ions bound by ~0.5-5eV bond energies and covalently bound... -
Tracking setting dynamics of portland cement at reduced and elevated temperat...
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...
