Regulation of early accelerated carbonation behavior in nano-modified cementitious materials under low concentration CO2 by Xu Chen, Shaochun Li, Mengjun Hu, Shiyu Sui, Yongjuan Geng, Ling Jin, Shuchang Zhang, Qiangqiang Ma, Shijie Han

“…In addition, nanoparticles promoted cement hydration, increased the degree of polymerization of C–S–H gels, and effectively inhibited their decalcification, thereby improving the pore structure of the matrix. Notably, the NS modified group exhibited the lowest total porosity and average pore size across all carbonation stages, with the proportion of large pores (>200 nm) reduced by approximately 69 % compared to the control. …”
