4D Early Age Cement Hydration Analysis by Ptychographic X-ray Computed Tomography and Machine Learning Segmentation
Shirani, Shiva; Cuesta-García, Ana María; Díaz, Ana; García-Aranda, Miguel Ángel; Trtik, Pavel; Holler, Mirko[et al.] (2022-06)Cement manufacturing is responsible for ~7% of the anthropogenic CO2 emissions and hence, decreasing the CO2 footprint, in a sustainable, safe and cost-effective way, is a top priority. To fully understand the binder main ... -
4D nanoimaging of early age cement hydration.
Shirani, Shiva; Cuesta-García, Ana María; Morales-Cantero, Alejandro; Santacruz-Cruz, María Isabel; Díaz, Ana; Trtik, Pavel; Holler, Mirko; Rack, Alexander; Lukic, Bratislav; Brun, Emmanuel; Salcedo, Inés R.; García-Aranda, Miguel Ángel[et al.] (Springer Nature, 2023-05-08)Despite a century of research, our understanding of cement dissolution and precipitation processes at early ages is very limited. This is due to the lack of methods that can image these processes with enough spatial ... -
4D nanoimaging of Portland cement hydration.
Shirani, Shiva; Cuesta, Ana; Díaz, Ana; Trtik, Pavel; Holler, Mirko; Rack, Alexander; Lukic, Bratislav; Brun, Emmanuel; García-Aranda, Miguel Ángel[et al.] (2024)Portland cements are environmentally contentious, accounting for ≈8% of the anthropogenic CO2 emissions. The understanding of the cement hydration reactions (dissolution and precipitation processes) is important to contribute ... -
Advanced 3D nanoimaging of cement paste hydration using synchrotron Xray ptychographic tomography
Shirani, Shiva; Cuesta, Ana; Santacruz-Cruz, María Isabel; Gómez-de-la-Torre, María de los Ángeles; Diaz, Ana; Trtik, Pavel; Holler, Mirko; García-Aranda, Miguel Ángel[et al.] (2024-06-25)Hydration of Portland cements (PC) is a complex phenomenon caused by the presence of multiple components with multi-length scale variability. To investigate this complicated process, state-of-theart 3D nanoimaging ... -
Calcium aluminate cement conversion analysed by ptychographic nanotomography
Shirani, Shiva; Cuesta-García, Ana María; Gómez-de-la-Torre, María de los Ángeles; Díaz, Ana; Trtrik, Pavel; Holler, Mirko; García-Aranda, Miguel Ángel[et al.] (Elsevier, 2020-08-17)Calcium aluminate cements are used for special applications but are nowadays banned for general structural purposes due to the calcium aluminate hydrate conversion, that has led, for concretes fabricated with high water ... -
Chemistry and Mass Density of Aluminum Hydroxide Gel in Eco-Cements by Ptychographic X-ray Computed Tomography
Cuesta-García, Ana María; Gómez-de-la-Torre, María de los Ángeles; Santacruz-Cruz, María Isabel; Trtik, Pavel; Da Silva, Julio C.; Díaz, Ana; Holler, Mirko; García-Aranda, Miguel Ángel[et al.] (ACS, 2017)Eco-cements are a desirable alternative to ordinary Portland cements because of their lower CO2 footprints. Some ye’elimite-based ecocements are attracting a lot of interest. Understanding the reasons for the mechanical ... -
Hydration studies of ye’elimite by using Ptychographic X-ray nano-tomography
Cuesta-García, Ana María; Da Silva, Julio C.; Díaz, Ana; Holler, Mirko; Gómez-de-la-Torre, María de los Ángeles; García-Aranda, Miguel Ángel; Trtik, Pavel[et al.] (2015-06-26)CSA (Calcium SulfoAluminate) cements may have variable compositions but all of them contain ye’elimite(Ca4Al6O12SO4). The manufacture of CSA cements is more environmentally friendly than that of ordinary Portland cements ... -
Ptychographic X-ray computed tomography analysis of cement pastes
García-Aranda, Miguel Ángel; Cuesta-García, Ana María; Gómez-de-la-Torre, María de los Ángeles; Trtik, Pavel; Díaz, Ana (2019-10-04)Ptychographic X-ray computed tomography provides 3D electron mass density and attenuationcoefficient distributions of unaltered cement pastes with an isotropic resolution below 100 nm. Thisimaging technique allows ... -
Quantitative analysis of cementitious materials by X-ray ptychographic nanotomography
Shirani, Shiva; Cuesta-García, Ana María; Gómez-de-la-Torre, María de los Ángeles; Da Silva, Julio C.; Karpov, Dmitry; Díaz, Ana; Holler, Mirko; Trtik, Pavel; García-Aranda, Miguel Ángel[et al.] (2021)Cement manufacturing is responsible for ~7% of the anthropogenic CO2 emissions and hence, decreasing the CO2 footprint, in a sustainable, safe, and cost-effective way, is a top priority. It is also key to develop more ... -
Quantitative disentanglement of nanocrystalline phases in cement pastes by synchrotron ptychographic X-ray tomography
Cuesta-García, Ana María; Gómez-de-la-Torre, María de los Ángeles; Santacruz-Cruz, María Isabel; Díaz, Ana; Trtik, Pavel; Holler, Mirko; Lothenbach, Barbara; García-Aranda, Miguel Ángel[et al.] (IUCr, 2019)Mortars and concretes are ubiquitous materials with very complex hierarchical microstructures. To fully understand their main properties and to decrease their CO2 footprint, a sound description of their spatially resolved ... -
X-ray near-field ptychographic nanoimaging of cement pastes
Shirani, Shiva; Cuesta, Ana; Santacruz-Cruz, María Isabel; Torre, Ángeles G. de la; Díaz, Ana; Trtik, Pavel; Holler, Mirko; García-Aranda, Miguel Ángel[et al.] (Elsevier, 2024)The hydration processes of Portland cements (PC) and blends are complicated as there are many components with great heterogeneity at different length scales. Thus, 3D nanoimaging techniques with high spatial resolution and ...
