The use of thermal analysis in assessing the effect of temperature on a cement paste

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of temperature in the mineralogical composition of cement hydration products has been studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and DTG curves, which can be used to determine fire conditions and the consequent deterioration expected in the cement paste.

Methods for determination of degree of reaction of slag in blended cement pastes

TL;DR: In this article, the degree of reaction of slag in blended pastes is measured using a combination of Selective dissolution and differential scanning calorimetry, but the absolute heat of hydration or contribution to chemical shrinkage of any particular slag is not known.

Material properties of portland cement paste with nano-montmorillonite

TL;DR: In this paper, a liquid-form nano-montmorillonite particle with a planar diameter of about 100nm was incorporated into the Portland cement paste at five different dosages and analyzed at four different ages to identify the nanosizing effects on material properties of such cement-based composite.
