Preparation techniques and the microscopical examination of portland cement paste and C3S

Dalgleish, B.J. / Pratt, P.L. / Moss, R.I.

AbstractThe requirement for structural resolution in TEM is the preparation of electron-transparent sections, so that for hardened cement paste ion-beam milling is the most practicable technique. Polished thin sections of bulk cement paste and hydrated tricalcium silicate, C3S, have been prepared and used for transmitted light microscopy, and to produce ion-beam machined thin-foils for examination in an analytical scanning transmission electron microscope. Scanning electron microscopy, used in conjunction with energy dispersive analysis, has proved particularly useful in providing a view of three-dimensional structural organisation and in helping to establish a connection with the images observed in TEM.
