Structural characterization of C-S-H gel through an improved deconvolution analysis of NMR spectra

The structure of the C-S-H gel in hydrated cement samples prepared with and without the addition of silica nanoparticles is studied in this work through the deconvolution of 29Si MAS-NMR spectra. X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis are also considered for the analysis. A meth...
