The development of green cements, with the aim of reducing CO 2 emissions, often results
in reduced hydration activity, especially during the first hours and days. Nucleation seeding …

While carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been increasingly employed in cementitious
composites, there is a lack of direct evidence at the microscopic scale that explains what …

Carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs) have been extensively used to modify cement matrix
thanks to their extraordinary specific surface area, high aspect ratio, and high strength and …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene oxide (GO) are the most studied carbon-based
materials for the modification of cementitious materials. Prior studies have shown that CNTs …

A novel idea of using carbon nanofibers (CNFs) to strengthen the interface transition zone
(ITZ) and to enhance the interface frictional bond strength between polyethylene (PE) fibers …

Polypropylene (PP) fibers are commonly used for reinforcing cementitious composites due
to their reasonable strength, good chemical stability and relatively low cost. However …

The addition of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to cementitious nanocomposites have
demonstrated significant mechanical performance enhancements, however, there has been …

Synthetic cement with different sulfate additions is investigated by means of heat flow
calorimetry and quantitative in-situ XRD. This study especially analyses different sulfate …

The study proposed a cement hydration model based on multiphase voxels and a novel
dissolution rate to simulate the hydration of a carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced cement …

Understanding the crystallization of cement-binding phases, from basic units to macroscopic
structures, can enhance cement performance, reduce clinker use, and lower CO2 emissions …
