Hydration characteristics and compressive strength of hardened cement pastes containing nano-metakaolin

In this study the effect of inclusion of nano-metakaolin (NMK) to ordinary Portland cement (OPC) on the hydration characteristics and microstructure of hardened OPC–NMK pastes was studied. The OPC–NMK blends were prepared by the partial substitution of OPC by NMK (4, 6, 10 and 15 weight %). The fres...
