This work aims to study the effect of a nucleating agent on cement hydration. Firstly, C-S-H crystal nucleation early strength (CNA) is prepared. Then, effects CNA hydration mechanism, enhancement effect, content, 28-days degree and fractal dimension products are studied by kinetics calculation, resistivity test, BET specific surface area test quantitative analysis backscattered electron (BSE) ...

The synergistic effect of nucleating agents and plasticizers on the thermal and mechanical performance of PLA nanocomposites was investigated with the objective of increasing the crystallinity and balancing the stiffness and toughness of PLA mechanical properties. Calcium carbonate, halloysite nanotubes, talc and LAK (sulfates) were compared with each other as heterogeneous nucleating agents. B...

Non-isothermal crystallization of neat high density polyethylene (HDPE), wood flour (WF)/HDPE composite (WPC), virgin Kevlar fiber (KF) reinforced WPC (KFWPC), and grafted Kevlar fiber (GKF) reinforced WPC (GKFWPC) was investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). Several theoretical models were applied to describe the process of nonis...
