Impact of Nano-Pore Structure in Harden Non-Sintering Cement.

This study investigates the nano pore structure of non-sintering cement (NSC) matrix. The result of pore structure properties showed no considerable difference in the total pore volume, but presented a large distinction in distribution of pore diameter by cement mixing ratio. The pore-diameter of NSC paste shows that occupation ratio of pore diameter below 10 nm was larger and was smaller than ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and blast-furnace slag cement (BSC) at pore diameter of over 10 nm. The reasons are due to the hydrate such as C-S-H gel and ettringite which formed dense nano pore structure of NSC matrix.
