Processing and microstructure of standard and modified macro-defect-free cements

Evolution of macro-defect-free microstructure and microchemistry was studied by TEM/EDS and SEM/EDS. MDF samples were prepared through an alternative, Banbury mixing route. Experiments with varying mixing time at constant mixing rate showed that an intimate distribution of constituents in the composite was assured at the early stages in the shear mixing step. With increasing mixing time, mechanically induced chemical reactions triggered an interplay of network formation and simultaneous network degradation.
