Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="jace13585-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>This investigation was designed to explore the possibility of using transmission electron microscope (TEM) tomography on cement‐based systems gain a greater understanding of their nanostructure and pore network. The preliminary results show a clearly a well‐defined pore network at the nanoscale, with pore size approximately 1.7–2.4 nm in diameter and spaced around 5–8 nm apart. A comparison of small angle X‐ray scattering data with 2‐D TEM images analyzed with the Fourier slice theorem documents an excellent structural correlation.</p> </abstract>
