in electron microscopy of biomacromolecules. it
oom temperature, the fading of the electron diffraction patterns
at -175°C occurs at an electron dose that is about one order of
magnitude higher. A combination of low-dose and
cryo-protection methods offers the possibility to investigate the
structures of water-containing cement phases by high-resolution
electron microscopy in a close-to-native state.
1. Introduetion
Te Sai phasesand portance Ca(01D,) are hydration
produets of the silicate cement clinker minerals CxS and
GS, which are the main constituents of Portland cement. These
hydration products strongly influence the strength and durabil-
ily of conerete. To date, itis not clear whether the fibrous C-5-
H phases of C3S and Portland cement hydration possess a erys-
talline structure oF not
All X-ray and electron éiffraction pattns for C-S-H phases
summarized by Gard and Taylor! and Taylor? were determined
from phases that had been synthesized at elevated temperatures,
and/or at an increased water-to-solid ratio (WS). However, di-
Iution of pastes or increase in temperature leads to C-S-H phias-
«8 with a lower calcium-to-silicon ratio (Ca/Si) Therefore, its
{questionable whether the structures of these low-Ca/Si C-S-H
‘phases can be compared with those of C-S-H phases formed in
3S or coment pastes with clevated Ca/Si. Nevertheless, Gard
and Taylor! and Taylor’ assumed that the C-S-H phases ob:
tained at elevated temperatures andjor at increased W/S ratios
were related to the ones of standard C;S hydration
Pioneering. work on collecting electton diffraction patterns
and images of cement phases was carried out by Grudemo, who
first deseribed the fibrous morphology of C-S-H phases in C:S
and Portland cement pastes (hydration at room temperature,
‘normal W/S).
From their compilations, Gard and Taylor! and Taylor? de
duced thatthe structure of C-S-H in mature C,S and cement
pastes can be described as a modified exystal structure of the

HL. Experimental Procedure
(1) Materials
C,S used in this work was prepared according to standard
protocols," which include burning of raw materials at 1450°C.
Several times. The chemical analysis of the produet showed mi-
nor impurities of Aland Fe. The free lime (CaO) content de-
termined by chemical analysis was about 0.15%
‘Quartz powder and ree ime were used for the preparation of
hydrothermal paste (C8 = 0.4
2) Sample Preparation
‘The CS hydration was performed at a W/S of 0.5. To avoid
carbonation, samples were stored in sealed plastic containers.
Unless stated otherwise, a hydration period of 14 days was cho-
sen to achieve a sullcient degree of hydration with stable rexe-
tion products.
“The quartz-lime mixture (C|S = 0.4) was prepared by reaction
at 170°C for 7 h in a pressure vessel (hydrothermal treatment)
(3) Electron Microscopie Specimen Preparation
Picoes of the hardened C,S paste were ultrasonically dispersed
in 2-propano! (approximately 0.5 g CxS paste, 2 ml. 2-propanel,
2-3 min sonifcaion), One droplet ofthe dispersed liquid was
applied to # copper grid covered by a QUANTIFOIL” holey
ettboa film (Quantfo Micro Tools GmbH, Jena, Germans).
‘The grid was kept in nitrogen gas atmosphere in order to pre
vent carbonation during evaporation ofthe 2propanol Irme-
diately after the -propanol had evaporated, the gid was ultra-
rapidly gooled by plunging into lguid-nitrogen cooled liquid
ethane," transferred into a cooled specimen holder under cold
riteogen gas, and inserted into a CM 120 TEM. The tempera-
ture ofthe sare holder was kept below —175°C.
‘Allematively, for investigations al room temperature, the
specimen was inserted into a TEM (CM 120, Pips, Eindho-
ven, the Netherlands, and JEM 3010, JEOL, Tokyo, Japan)
‘without any cooling after the 2-propanol had evaporated.
For scanning eeciron_ microscopy (SEM) investigations,
freshly fractured pices of hurdened pases were inserted into
the microscope chamber
(4) Electron Microscopy
‘Transmission electron microscopy was carried out with « CM
120 Philips), operated at 120 RV, and with 2 JEM 3010 EOL),
‘operated at 300 KY; both instruments were equipped with LaB,
cathodes. With the CM 120, images and diffraction patterns
‘were recorded using controlled lectron dose. The value forthe
applied electron dose was determined with a calibrated CCD
‘Camera (FastScan F114, TVIPS, Gguting, Germany). The dose
rates applied were 4 and 27 e-(5. A")-'. Up to 30 s elapsed be-
fore the object was centered ané the microscope settings were
adjusted for obtaining an electron diffraction image.
‘SEM was carried out with an XL30 ESEM-FEG (Philips)
operating at 25 kV and a humidity of about 80% or at 2.5 kV
and a high vacuum environment.
‘The software package CaRIne Crystallography 3.1 (ESM-
software, Hamilton, OF) was used to ealeulate an electron dif
fraction pattern for 11 A tobermorite,

than 45 ym, Measurements were performed with an X-ray pow

ribbons (quartz-lime mixture, C/S=034, 170°C), an electron
iffraction pattern of the latter was laid over one of the former
in Fig. 4(6). Both patterns were recorded at — 175°C. The d-
spacings determined for the ribbons are also listed in Table I

(B)_ Observations in diffraction mode: Figure 7 depicts
the fading ofthe diffraction patterns of both fibrous and ribbon
type C-S-H phases with electron dose at —175°C, and at
room temperature. The fading is given as the maximum
attainable resolution of diffraction patterns, ie. the smallest
cdspacings that can be identified for the particular doses
applied,
Ribbon-type C-S-H phases appeared to be more radiation
resistant than fibrous ones. The patterns of the ribbon-type C
S-H phases remained unaffected at low temperature until the
fend of the measuring period (9 min), at which a total dose of
~24% I ‘was reached, while they started to fade at
~8 10" @/A® at room temperature, Whereas the fading of
the pattems of fibrous C-S-H phases commenced at ~ 1.5 10°
eA" at room temperature, it only started at ~24% 10" e/A? at
Tow temperature. In other words, at low temperature, the fibrous
C-S-H phases can endure an electron dose that is about one
order of magnitude higher than that at room temperature,
‘AL still higher electron doses than those documented in
Fig. 7, electron diffraction patterns indicating an amorphous
structure were recorded for specimens of fibrous and ribbon
type C-S-H at room temperature. Those amorphous ring pat-
terns did not occur during the observation period when working
at low temperature.

‘volatiles that are a result of radistion-induoed bond ruptures in

“The images of fibrous C-S-H phases presented here showing

includ these extra calcium ions i the tobermorite structure (E.
Bonaccors, personal communication). Gard and Taylor intro-
duced the mineral jennite for the structure of C-S-H phases
principally because ofthe low calcium content of tobermorie.
Because the CaSi of jenpite (1.5) is sill lower than the one
measured by Richardson! for C-S-H phases of CoS paste, the

Since neither tobermorite nor jennite alone ean constitute the
structure of C-S-H in C3S/Portiand cement pastes, generally
two types of elaborate models have been proposed. ‘The first

Ve Conclusions
1, Fibrous C-S-H. phases of trcalumsiieate hydration
prepared with a normal water-o-slid ratio (0.5) and at room
femperature 20°C) possess a crystalin structure.
2 Tis erystlige nature canbe reveled by applying
Jimited-dose gletron diffraction; above an electron dose of
6410" e/A® at room temperature, the crystalline structure
destroyed and dilraction patteros that show amorphous rings
are detected.
5. At =175'C, the electron dose that can be applied before
the high-resolution diffraction spots disappear is about one
order of magnitude higher
4. Anadverseellect of specimen dehydration inthe vacuum
ofthe microscope was not detected
5. For samples with a higher water content, however, the
Jose dose and eryo-protetion methods applied in this work may
have to be complemented by the technique of vitrification.
6 Fibrous C-S-H phases of trcaleumilieate hydration
appear to be more radiation sensiive than ribbonype ones
formed under hydrothermal conditions.
"Following previous structural models, itis proposed that
fibrous C-S-H phases of trcaleiumsilcate hydration possess
shoot sicateke structure.
