Multiscale understanding of tricalcium silicate hydration reactions [PDF]
Tricalcium silicate, the main constituent of Portland cement, hydrates to produce crystalline calcium hydroxide and calcium-silicate-hydrates (C-S-H) nanocrystalline gel. This hydration reaction is poorly understood at the nanoscale.

Calcium silicates synthesised from industrial residues with the ability for CO2 sequestration [PDF]
This work explored several synthesis routes to obtain calcium silicates from different calcium-rich and silica-rich industrial residues. Larnite, wollastonite and calcium silicate chloride were successfully synthesised with moderate heat treatments below

Investigation of the Incompatibilities of Cement and Superplasticizers and Their Influence on the Rheological Behavior [PDF]
The rheological behavior of cement paste and the improvement of its flowability takes center stage in many research projects. An improved flowability can be achieved by the addition of superplasticizers (SP), such as polycarboxylate ethers (PCE).

Atomic and nano-scale characterization of a 50-year-old hydrated C3S paste [PDF]
This paper investigates the atomic and nano-scale structures of a 50-year-old hydrated alite paste. Imaged by TEM, the outer product C-S-H fibers are composed of particles that are 1.5-2 nm thick and several tens of nanometers long.

Apatite bone cement reinforced with calcium silicate fibers
Several research efforts have been made in the attempt to reinforce calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) with polymeric and carbon fibers. Due to their low compatibility with the cement matrix, results were not satisfactory. In this context, calcium silicate fibers (CaSiO3) may be an alternative material to overcome the main drawback of reinforced CPCs ...

Evaluation of Shear Bond Strength and Marginal Adaptation of Calcium Silicate-based Cements and Premixed Bioceramics When Restored with Glass Ionomer Cement: An In Vitro Study [PDF]
Aims and background: In primary molars, pulpotomy is recommended when the radicular pulp tissue is either healthy or capable of healing. A biologically compatible pulpotomy agent is used to seal the radicular pulp.
