43165 2017 eng lecture 0 -- -- -- Building materials consist of cement, water and chemical admixtures, which adjust cement paste properties. They can act beyond their aimed functions causing changes in hydration course. The mechanisms are still under investigation. We investigate cement hydration in levitated droplets using an ultrasonic levitator. Hydrate phase formation is followed in situ by synchrotron XRD. The data allows detailed conclusions about the mechanisms of the admixture action in the ongoing hydration reactions. 7th GACM Colloquium on Computational Mechanics Stuttgart, Germany 11.10.2017 13.11.2017 0 Julia Stroh eng uncontrolled Portland cement eng uncontrolled Hydration eng uncontrolled Levitation eng uncontrolled Admixtures Analytische Chemie Ingenieurwissenschaften und zugeordnete Tätigkeiten Datei im Netzwerk der BAM verfügbar ("Closed Access") Präsentation
