Moreover, as will be shown below, the performance of cement seems to depend on the type of pozzolana used. After 180 days' exposure, a 5 per cent MgSO 4 solution caused a strength loss of 45 per cent in a Portland cement paste and 5 and 20 per cent in cements containing 30 and 40 per cent of burned kaolin, respectively. 383.
A multi-scale and micromechanical constitutive model for predicting the volume changes of hardening portland cement paste has been formulated and validated in this study. The elastic properties of hardening cement paste were modeled first based on the theories of poromechanics and mechanics of composites.
Portland cement is a generic term used to describe any type of hydraulic cement that is produced by heating a mixture of limestone and clay or limesto. ... The sample is the standard cement paste of which the temperature is 20°C ± 3°C and humidity is more than 90%.
Portland cement paste was prepared at a water to cement mass ratio ( w / c) of 0.4. After being demoulded, it was cured in moist conditions at 23 ± 1 °C and 95% relative humidity prior to testing. Before the nanoindentation tests, the sample was carefully polished to achieve a smooth surface.

Furthermore, it seems that Portland cement paste reacts in a similar way, albeit delayed by carbonation of portlandite: Rimmelé et al.

The resulting hard substance, called 'clinker', is then ground with a small amount of gypsum (CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O) into a powder to make ordinary Portland cement, the most commonly used type of cement (often referred to as OPC). Portland cement is a basic ingredient of concrete, mortar, and most non-specialty grout. The most common use for Portland ...
This study reports on the effect of graphene oxide (GO) on the hydration of Portland cement (PC) and industrial clinker. GO accelerates PC hydration, whereas it temporarily retards that of clinker. This difference reflects a twofold behaviour of GO in cement pastes. Retardation is due to the interaction of GO with the surface of hydrating ...

When water is mixed with Portland cement, a paste is formed. Often, water-based adhesives bond when they dry. When the water evaporates from the liquid adhesive, the dry bonding agent remains between the materials as a joint. However, the bonding process of Portland paste isn't a drying process at all. Instead of drying, Portland cement sets ...
