Investigation of the early-age performance and microstructure of nano-C–S–H blended cement-based materials

Nano calcium silicate hydrate (nano-C–S–H) has become a novel additive for advanced cement-based materials. In this paper, the effect of nano-C–S–H on the early-age performance of cement paste has been studied, and some micro-characterization methods were used to measure the microstructure of nano-C...
