Lecture:
Application of 1H NMR relaxometry on cement-based materials: From Basic to Current Perspectives
1H NMR relaxometry has been widely applied to evaluate the pore structure of cementitious materials. As this technique does not require sample pre-treatment, it offers significant advantages for investigating C-S-H gel structures compared to other experimental methods. In this lecture, I will outline the fundamental principles of 1H NMR relaxometry, including common pulse sequences and key assumptions for interpreting pore structures. Furthermore, I will introduce landmark studies and recent applications in the field of cement chemistry, followed by a discussion on current challenges.
