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 composition-process-structure-property relations. An exposition is given of the theoretical and experimental foundations for thermokinetic investigation of the rate and heat of hydration reactions, as well as for thermodynamic estimation of pore structure parameters in correlation to some important properties of cement-containing materials. Examples of the regularities established in binder hardening processes and in determining the microporosity parameters of cement stone are presented.
