A poster from a project funded by the Institution’s 2022/23 MSc Research Grants.

The aim of this project was to systematically enhance the reactivity of PFS through chemical and thermal activations to improve its early age hydration, while the reaction mechanisms of PFS blended cement is analysed through microstructural studies.
