description <p>The investigation into the syntheses and the intercalations of LDHs is the focus of the work described in this thesis. An introduction to Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH) materials with an emphasis on the possible host lattices and to their applications is given in <strong>Chapter 1</strong>. The application of LDHs in cement including; history of cement, cement production process, and cement hydration is detailed.</p> <p>The synthesis of the Ga-doped Ca<sub>2</sub>Al(OH)<sub>6</sub>Cl•<em>n</em>H<sub>2</sub>O LDHs (Ca<sub>2</sub>Ga<sub><em>x</em></sub>Al<sub>(1–<em>x</em>)</sub>-Cl; where 0 &lt; <em>x</em> &lt; 1) <em>via</em> the co-precipitation method is reported in <strong>Chapter 2</strong>. The effect of doping Ga<sup>3+</sup> on a parameter of Ca<sub>2</sub>Ga<sub><em>x</em></sub>Al<sub>(1–<em>x</em>)</sub>-Cl was determined by using Vegard’s law and the correlation between <em>a</em> parameter and <em>x</em> value was derived. The intercalation of organic anions including; sodium styrene sulfonate, sodium butene dicarboxylate, sodium fumarate and ammonium poly(styrene sulfonate), in Ca<sub>2</sub>Ga-Cl structure is described.</p> <p>The intercalation of lignosulfonate, naphthalene sulfonate and polycarboxylate into Ca<sub>2</sub>Al(OH)<sub>6</sub>NO<sub>3</sub>·6H<sub>2</sub>O (Ca<sub>2</sub>Al-NO<sub>3</sub>) is detailed in <strong>Chapter 3</strong>. The release behaviour for the LDHs and the kinetic modelling of the release are reported. The effects of these LDHs on cement hydration studied by using the <em>in situ</em> X-ray diffraction and the ultrasound shear-wave reflection are discussed.</p> <p>In <strong>Chapter 4</strong>, the synthesis of Ca<sub>2</sub>Al(OH)<sub>6</sub>NO<sub>3</sub>·<em>n</em>H<sub>2</sub>O via a non-ionic surfactant reverse microemulsion is reported. The effects of the amount and the solubility [Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance (HLB)] of non-ionic surfactant on the morphology and the size distribution of the LDHs are discussed. </p> <p>Two new nitrite intercalated Ca<sub>2</sub>Al-LDHs [Ca<sub>2</sub>Al(OH)<sub>6</sub>NO<sub>2</sub>·<em>n</em>H<sub>2</sub>O] synthesised via both the co-precipitation and the reverse micro-emulsion method are detailed in <strong>Chapter 5</strong>. The hydration of Portland cement samples with additive nitrate- and nitrite-intercalated Ca<sub>2</sub>Al-LDH made using co-precipitation is discussed.</p> <p>The synthesis of dispersed, uniform nanoplatelet [Ca<sub>2</sub>Al(OH)<sub>6</sub>DDS]•H<sub>2</sub>O LDHs is reported in <strong>Chapter 6</strong>. The effects of the amount of the surfactant on the morphology and size distribution of the LDHs are described.</p> <p>The experimental procedures and characterising techniques employed in this study are listed in <strong>Chapter 7</strong>. Additional data are provided in the <strong>Appendices</strong>.</p>
