Analysis of C-s-h Gel by Small-angle Neutron Scattering
نویسندگان
چکیده
The role of small-angle x-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS) in the characterization of cement is briefly reviewed. The unique information obtainable from SANS analysis of C-S-H gel in hydrating cement is compared with that obtainable by other neutron methods. Implications for the nature of C-S-H gel, as detected by SANS, are considered in relation to current models.

Analysis of C–S–H gel and cement paste by small-angle neutron scattering
The role of small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS) in the characterization of cement is briefly reviewed. The unique information obtainable from SANS analysis of C–S–H gel in hydrating cement is compared with that obtainable by other neutron methods.

متن کاملMicrostructural changes of globules in calcium-silicate-hydrate gels with and without additives determined by small-angle neutron and X-ray scattering.
The microstructure of calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) gel, a major hydrated phase of Ordinary Portland Cement, with and without polycarboxylic ether (PCE) additives is investigated by combined analyses of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) data. The results show that these comb-shaped polymers tend to increase the size of the disk-like globules but ha...
متن کاملCharacterisation of porous solids using small-angle scattering and NMR cryoporometry
The characteristics of several porous systems have been studied by the use of small-angle neutron scattering [SANS] and nuclear magnetic resonance [NMR] techniques. The measurements reveal different characteristics for sol-gel silicas, activated carbons and ordered mesoporous silicas of the MCM and SBA type. Good agreement is obtained between gas adsorption measurements and the NMR and SANS res...
متن کاملStructural Hierarchy in DNA Hydrogels
Sol-gel transition in aqueous DNA solutions was probed to determine the gelation time tgel and temperature Tgel. It was remarkable to observe that Tgel linearly increased from 36 to 57°C and tgel decreased from 700 to 350 s with increase in DNA concentration. The hydrogels were studied by using small angle neutron scattering (SANS) ([DNA]≤ 3 %(w/v)) to determine the underlying hierarchy of leng...
متن کاملبررسی امکان استفاده از چشمه های نوترونی رادیوایزوتوپی در نوترون درمانی با بور
Background : Performing successful BNCT experiments needs a suitable neutron source. Important factors of the neutron beam are flux and energy that are very important in the selection of neutron source. In most centers that use this method for treatment, reactor is a neutron source, which according to characteristics of the reactor appropriated neutrons are very high. High cost of constructin...
