Surface Modification of Autoclaved Light Weight Concrete
Journal of the Ceramic Association, Japan, 1987 Surface properties of commercial autoclaved light weight concrete (ALC) having 1.1nm-tobermorite as a major constitutional mineral were investigated. The effective field strength of the ALC surface was determined as 6.6×105e.s.u./cm2 from the slope of linear relation between heat of immersion (hi (sl)) and dipole moment of immersing media.
