Enhanced Mechanical and Microstructural Properties of Portland Cement Composites Modified with Submicron Metakaolin by Yaoyu Wang, Jiye Li, Lihan Jiang, Lihua Zhao

“…Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was also employed to analyze the change in the chemical composition of the HCS. The results showed that the SMK could accelerate the hydration rate of the cement and could improve the mechanical properties of the HCS; the compressive strength and flexural strength of the HCS samples were remarkably enhanced, compared to those of the plain cement, by 67 and 46%, respectively, at a curing period of 3 days and by 33 and 35%, respectively, at a curing period of 28 days. …”
