Abstract
Transmission electron microscopy has been used to characterize the molecular structure of various synthetic calcium silicate hydrates. Using a model two-phase interfacial hydrolysis reaction, a range of hydrates with various compositions and degrees of order were prepared. The basic molecular core structure was found to be a 1 nm thick sheet, consisting of a protonated CaOx polyhedral layer sandwiched between short-chain silicate groups.
