Hydration of hardened cement paste incorporates nano-palm oil fuel ash at later age: the microstructure studies
Cement replacement using pozzolanic materials in nano-sized particles could improve the mechanical and durability of concrete. A study on the hydration of cement in hardened cement paste (HCP) could assist the investigation of nano-POFA (nPOFA) as a potential supplementary cementing material (SCM)....

Cement replacement using pozzolanic materials in nano-sized particles could improve the mechanical and durability of concrete. A study on the hydration of cement in hardened cement paste (HCP) could assist the investigation of nano-POFA (nPOFA) as a potential supplementary cementing material (SCM). Hence, the present work aims to examine the hydration of HCP incorporates nPOFA and the pozzolanic activity of nPOFA in cement matrix through the microstructure studies. A set of nPOFA-HCP were prepared with a cement replacement in range of 10-60% and the paste were cured for 90 days. The microstructural investigation of nPOFA-HCP was conducted via X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) analysis, Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and Fourier Transfrom Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis.
