Question: Cement hydration products.
Find and summarise the names and formulae of four of the major hydration products recognising the variable water content and the use of different notation by cement chemists. Which of the products forms the main component of the cement gel? Find and report on the form (morphology or particle shape and interconnectivity)) of the main component based on models proposed and miscroscopy investigations.
Find and report on any morphology relating to pores which gases may pass through.
Reflection: What was the most outstanding outcome of this investigation for you in terms of thinking about chemical and material processes?
