Mechanistic insights into the anion‐driven suppression of the initial cement reaction of tricalcium aluminate

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The hydration process of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) involves intricate interactions among ions in the pore solution, dissolving clinker phases, and precipitating hydrates. Tricalcium aluminate (C3A${\rm C}_3{\rm A}$) shows the highest reactivity of the cement clinker phases during the initial hydration stages of OPC. The kinetic control of

Plasma‐flash sintering II: Flashing ZnO at room temperature using low AC voltage

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 108, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract In this study, we have advanced the plasma‐flash sintering (PFS) technique by demonstrating the preparation of dense ZnO ceramics at room temperature using a moderate electric field of 250 V cm−1 under a low‐pressure nitrogen atmosphere. This specific environment facilitates the sequential occurrence of plasma generation followed by the flash ...
