The impact of metakaolin on the hydration of tricalcium silicate: effect of C-A-S-H precipitation
Introduction: Metakaolin (MK) is used as supplementary cementitious material to reduce the CO2 footprint of Portland cements. However, the early hydration of Portland cement (OPC) is often retarded due to its use. The present work investigates the mechanisms of this retardation. Focus is laid on the...
