    Influence of quartz surfaces on the reaction C3A + CaSO4.2H2O + water

    No full text
    Quartz surfaces counteract the retarding action of SO42- on the hydration of C3A, by presenting additional sites for ettringite crystallization. Strong retardation requires the presence of ettringite near the C3A, influencing the local concentrations there

    An improved apparatus for the measurement of zeta potentials of rod-shaped materials

    No full text
    The method is based on measurement of the electroosmosis of the system formed by a rod placed in a cyclindrical hole in a piece of another material (P) leaving a narrow space between rod and hole wall. The zeta potential (z2) of the hole wall was described previously (S. and Stein, 1977); the zeta potential of the rod can be calcd. from z2 and the electroosmosis data. Measurements can be made in the same app. (at the same time) as radiotracer studies of ion adsorption on the rod
