Abstract

The chemical nature and microstructure of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) are influenced by the interfacial mechanisms of hydration which are primarily controlled by surface and nearsurface phenomena. Recent works from our laboratory involving superplasticizers, metal anions that retard hydration and interaction with silicate based aggregates have established that the interfacial chemistry is of fundamental importance in understanding the mechanisms of CSH formation, surface chemical compound formation and mineralization of the interfacial transition zone and its interaction with the hydrated cement particles and the aggregate. A surface charge control reaction model that accounts for :he importance of calcium and other cations and anions will be outlined and used to discuss the interfacial physical chemistry of the ITZ and its ultimate chemical nature and structure.
