Fig. 2. Polarized optical and scanning electron micrographs of C-S-H mesocrystals.

Fig. 2

(A) to (C) were obtained from approach A, and (D) to (F) from approach B. For (A), (D), and (E), same colors indicate same orientations. The POM analysis suggests a long-range order of the agglomerated C-S-H crystallites over several hundreds of micrometers. (B) reveals a secondary structuring of the C-S-H superstructures, whereas (C) and (F) show the alignment of the single C-S-H crystallites into layers, and no microporosity can be detected.
