Abstract
This study evaluated the synergistic effects of nano-alumina and triisopropanolamine (TIPA) on the physicochemical properties of Portland limestone cement (PLC) with varying gypsum contents. The incorporation of nano-alumina and TIPA into PLC pastes with 3 and 9 wt % of gypsum resulted in increased heat release during the initial dissolution period and total heat release of cement hydration, and significantly enhanced the silicate and aluminate reactions. In addition, their combined use significantly improved the compressive strength of the PLC pastes, produced denser microstructures with lower porosities, and altered the pore shapes in the pastes. The synergistic advantages are likely related to the role of nano-alumina as a reactive filler and the use of TIPA that enhances the reactivity of the clinker phases.
期刊介绍：
Cement & concrete composites focuses on advancements in cement-concrete composite technology and the production, use, and performance of cement-based construction materials. It covers a wide range of materials, including fiber-reinforced composites, polymer composites, ferrocement, and those incorporating special aggregates or waste materials. Major themes include microstructure, material properties, testing, durability, mechanics, modeling, design, fabrication, and practical applications. The journal welcomes papers on structural behavior, field studies, repair and maintenance, serviceability, and sustainability. It aims to enhance understanding, provide a platform for unconventional materials, promote low-cost energy-saving materials, and bridge the gap between materials science, engineering, and construction. Special issues on emerging topics are also published to encourage collaboration between materials scientists, engineers, designers, and fabricators.
