A review of micro-resolved crystochemical and mechanical probes for sustainable cement-based material studies
Abstract Exploring sustainable alternative constituents is a key pathway to carbon-neutralization of concrete, but often limited to insufficient understandings of how they interact with conventional concrete components at microscale. In this paper we reviewed the most cutting-edge microprobes used f...

| description | Abstract Exploring sustainable alternative constituents is a key pathway to carbon-neutralization of concrete, but often limited to insufficient understandings of how they interact with conventional concrete components at microscale. In this paper we reviewed the most cutting-edge microprobes used for such purposes, from both laboratory setup to synchrotron radiation-based techniques. We also provided practical guidelines on sample preparation and result analysis, which could benefit researchers who plan to adopt these methods |
