Journal ArticleDOI

Densification of C–S–H Measured by 1H NMR Relaxometry

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to characterize the nanoporosity of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) in sealed cured pastes as a function of degree of hydration and water to cement ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surface relaxation and chemical exchange in hydrating cement pastes: a two-dimensional NMR relaxation study.

TL;DR: A correlation of features along the line T(1) = 4T(2) provides strong supportive evidence for the surface diffusion model of (1)H nuclear spin relaxation in cements and for a multimodal discrete pore size distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of bench-top NMR to measure the density, composition and desorption isotherm of C–S–H in cement paste

TL;DR: In this paper, a measurement of the degree of hydration using X-ray diffraction has been used to characterise the nano-scale porosity and composition of C-S-H, the active component of cement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterisation of Intra- and Inter-C-S-H Gel Pore Water in White Cement Based on an Analysis of NMR Signal Amplitudes as a Function of Water Content

TL;DR: In this paper, a 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation analysis of water in progressively dried white cement paste is used to estimate the width and relative specific area of intra-C-S-H sheet pores and inter-C−S−H particle gel pores.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observation of exchange of micropore water in cement pastes by two-dimensional T(2)-T(2) nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry.

TL;DR: A water diffusion coefficient inferred from the exchange rate and the cement particle size is found to compare favorably with the results of molecular-dynamics simulations to be found in the literature.
