New paper time! We just published this paper in CCR - we used some fancy characterisation and modelling approaches to reveal reaction mechanisms, kinetics, and nanostructural evolution of magnesium silicate hydrate (M-S-H) gels. @SmashUoS @CementsSheff sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

It has been a very fruitful week in Boston for the 50th (my first) Calphad conference (Calphad L). Lots learnt and many new connections made which will be useful in growing our expertise in this crucial area of research. @CementsSheff @ArrowOfTimeUK #calphad – at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge
