Abstract: This study evaluates the influence of various dispersion methods on the sulfate attack resistance of nanosilica (nS)-contained mortars. Multiple mechanical or ultrasonic dispersion methods, high-range water-reducing ...

Abstract: This study set out to determine the effect of dry powder nanosilica (nS) on the sulfate resistance of mortars when paired with portland cements (PCs) of contrastingly different fineness and tricalcium aluminate (C3A) ...

Abstract: Presented is a direct-comparison sulfate resistance study of mortars containing 3% or 6% cement replacement with either colloidal nanosilica (nS) or microsilica (mS), exposed to 6 months of full submersion in a 5% ...
