CALORIMETRIC ANALYSIS OF INTERACTIONS IN DISPERSE SYSTEMS

A multiple approach to studying heterogeneous interactions in disperse systems, as exemplified by binders, is developed in terms of composit ion-process-structure-property relations. An exposition is given of th e theoretical and experimental foundations for thermokinetic investiga tion of the rate and heat of hydration reactions, as well as for therm odynamic estimation of pore structure parameters in correlation to som e important properties of cement-containing materials. Examples of the regularities established in binder hardening processes and in determi ning the microporosity parameters of cement stone are presented.
