C-S-H gel densification: the impact of the nanoscale on self desiccation and sorption isotherms
Enrico Masoero, Gianluca Cusatis, Giovanni Di Luzio
The relationship between humidity and water content in a hydrating cement paste is largely controlled by the nanostructure of the C-S-H gel. Current hydration models do not describ…

Capillary stress and structural relaxation in moist granular materials
Tingtao Zhou, Katerina Ioannidou, Enrico Masoero +3
We propose a theoretical framework to calculate capillary stresses in complex mesoporous materials, such as moist sand, nanoporous hydrates, and drying colloidal films. Molecular s…
