Book of extended abstracts of the 19th Euroseminar on Microscopy Applied to Building Materials (EMABM)

More about the book

The application of microscopic methods to raw materials, clinker, cement and hydrated cementitious systems has contributed significantly to the understanding of the chemical and mineralogical composition of clinker, its formation conditions and hydration reactions over the last 140 years. This publication reviews the contributions of important microscopists, the development of the method and the main issues addressed by light microscopy applied to Portland cement clinker.
