Evolution of a short-T2 liquid-like 1H signal during the hydration of White Portland Cement

- C-S-H gel has been studied by FID solid-liquid separation and T1 distributions.
- Our results suggest the C-S-H gel to develop in comparable-sized clumps.
- The longer T1 liquid signal (LL) is likely water in the interclump spaces.
- The liquid-like LS component is identified as interlayer water.
- Two solid-like components (similar T2, different T1) have been identified.
