Abstract

The application of transmission electron microscopy to the study of the early stages of hydration C3S and the microstructure of very mature C3 S paste is reported. In the former case the effect of water-cement ratio appears to be very important. In the latter, a detailed evaluation of the microstructures of inner C-S-H, outer C-S-H and CH is possible and the relationship of these to models of cement hydration is discussed.
