Novel layered double hydroxide chemistry for application in cement and other building materials

Thesis

The investigation into the syntheses and the intercalations of LDHs is the focus of the work described in this thesis. An introduction to Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH) materials with an emphasis on the possible host lattices and to their applications is given in Chapter 1. The application of LDHs in cement including; history of cement, cement production process, and cement hydration is detailed.

The synthesis of the Ga-doped Ca₂Al(OH)₆Cl•n...
