Surface chemistry of supplementary cementitious materials: a key lever in cement decarbonization

A seminar on the surface chemistry of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and its role in cement decarbonization, presenting advanced characterization methods and findings on metakaolin dissolution and early-age hydration. The talk covers techniques including 29Si isotopic labeling, solid-state NMR, and 4D-STEM to inform predictive frameworks for low-carbon cements. The speaker is Prof. Franco Zunino from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. The event is organised in celebration of National Chemistry Week.
