Abstract: The synthesis parameters, such as alkali activator type and content and water/binder (w/b) ratio, directly affect the dissolution and geopolymerization kinetics in geopolymers, playing a major role in its flow performance ...

Abstract: Tricalcium aluminate (C3A) is the most reactive phase in portland cement clinker. In the study of the C3A hydration process, the use of synthetic samples is often preferred over clinker-sourced samples due to the absence ...

Abstract: Application of power ultrasound to enhance dispersion of commercial densified silica fume leads to increased compressive strengths and refinement of the pore structure in mortars, compared with those that are untreated. ...
