Abstract

Super sulphated cement (SSC) is a very promising substitute for traditional construction materials (i.e. Portland cement), due to its enhanced durability and particularly low environmental impact. This paper explores the microstructure and certain properties of SSC, focusing on the particular complexities of its microstructure and the difficulties of microanalysis of its hydrates. To do so, SSC paste samples were first cast to identify hydration products using X-ray diffraction, then observed at early age using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and at early and late age using scanning electron microscopy. In addition, concrete cores impregnated with fluorescein in order to highlight porosity, cracking and aggregates debonding were observed under UV light using optical microscopy (OM), showing a complete absence of cracking and aggregate debonding. Both microscopy techniques (CLSM and UV light OM) have been applied to this type of binder for the first time. The results show that SSC microstructure is characterised by a sophisticated intergrowth of various phases, including ettringite and amorphous calcium-(alumina)-silicate hydrate gels. Finally, Monte–Carlo simulation of electron-matter has been provided for a better understanding of EDS analysis.

应用各种显微镜技术研究超硫酸盐水泥微观结构的早期龄期和长期行为。
超硫酸盐水泥(SSC)是一种非常有前途的传统建筑材料(即硅酸盐水泥)的替代品,因为它具有更高的耐久性和特别低的环境影响。本文探讨了超硫酸盐水泥的微观结构和某些特性,重点是其微观结构的特殊复杂性以及对其水合物进行微观分析的困难。为此,首先浇注了 SSC 浆料样品,使用 X 射线衍射法确定水化产物,然后使用共焦激光扫描显微镜(CLSM)观察早期龄期,并使用扫描电子显微镜观察早期和晚期龄期。此外,还使用光学显微镜(OM)在紫外光下观察浸有荧光素的混凝土芯,以突出孔隙率、开裂和集料脱落,结果显示完全没有开裂和集料脱落。这两种显微镜技术(CLSM 和紫外光 OM)都是首次应用于这种类型的粘结剂。结果表明,SSC 的微观结构特点是各种相的复杂交错生长,包括乙长石和无定形的水合硅酸钙(氧化铝)凝胶。最后,为了更好地理解 EDS 分析,还提供了电子-物质的蒙特卡洛模拟。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Microscopy is the oldest journal dedicated to the science of microscopy and the only peer-reviewed publication of the Royal Microscopical Society. It publishes papers that report on the very latest developments in microscopy such as advances in microscopy techniques or novel areas of application. The Journal does not seek to publish routine applications of microscopy or specimen preparation even though the submission may otherwise have a high scientific merit. The scope covers research in the physical and biological sciences and covers imaging methods using light, electrons, X-rays and other radiations as well as atomic force and near field techniques. Interdisciplinary research is welcome. Papers pertaining to microscopy are also welcomed on optical theory, spectroscopy, novel specimen preparation and manipulation methods and image recording, processing and analysis including dynamic analysis of living specimens. Publication types include full papers, hot topic fast tracked communications and review articles. Authors considering submitting a review article should contact the editorial office first.
