Abstract:The composition and structure of Calcium-Silicate-Hydrate (C-S-H) phases depends on various reaction parameters leading to its formation. Molecular Dynamic simulation studies probing the formation and structure of C-S-H are generally computationally expensive and can reach only very short time scales. Herein, we propose a coarse graining approach to model the formation of C-S-H, using patchy particles and a modified Patchy Brownian Cluster Dynamics algorithm. The simulations show that patchy particle systems c… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
