Physicochemical Study of the Self-Disintegration of Calcium Orthosilicate (β→γ) in the Presence of the C<sub>12</sub>A<sub>7</sub> Aluminate Phase

The β-γ polymorphic transition of calcium orthosilicate (C<sub>2</sub>S) is a key phenomenon in cement chemistry. During this transition, the compound expands due to structural changes and a significant reduction in its density is observed, leading to its disintegration into a powder wit...
